The Significance of THE LOOK

Ok I will post more pics of THE LOOK in the future, but here was my point.
People meet and fall in love. They fall in love and with time they trust each other and love each other, respect and care for each other.
When a person exepriences all those nuances of love for another you can see it in the eyes, in the lines of the face, in the power of their expression.
Good
Great.
That look, I think makes people feel safe and secure.
The look makes them feel as if that person who gave it to them is the ONE person they can weather the storms with.
The look makes you relax.
How can one ever fully recover when the person who gives them or has given them THE LOOK, treats them with contempt, disrespect or unwarranted anger?
You can forgive and move on but something, even if its a small something, seems to die. You can decide that you won't let it die, but a part of the trust is gone. That small something stays with you regardless of what happens next.
It makes you aware and keeps you on guard. Because now you know that this person is potentially harmful.
You can talk it out and work it through. The more and more the behavior continues however, the more the trust is eroded.
Ususally the person on the receiving end starts to build up walls. The other sometimes thinks that all is well, just so long as they talk things through.
Life isn't like that.
One can' play around with the heart of another. It is a gift and a privilege when someone lets you in deep.
When despair sets in...life becomes hard

yea, when dispair sets in, it's time to take a very heavy inventory of whether things will work. Dispair is not good
