Life is not measued by the amount of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

You'll remember his eyes, in this moment, forever.
You glance up at him, and his eyes are focused on you. He's looking at you, properly looking at you, as if you're the most interesting puzzle he's seen. You have his full attention (that's nearly impossible), and there's something in the depths of his eyes, some emotion you can't identify.
You lock his gaze and he doesn't look away, the way you expected him to, staying completely focused on you. His eyes are so startlingly clear of the guilt and pain he's been carrying for as long as you've known him that your breath catches in your throat.
That one look is everything, he's made his decision about you. You pass inspection, you can see it in the look that flickers across his (for this moment) completely open face.
Then he glaces toward the door, and the connection is broken, he's doing a million other things, working on a million problems more important that you. And that's okay, because you remember, and now you'll do anything to live up to the trust he's put in you.
He says your name, a wide grin breaking out across his face and tells you where you've landed, and why, and offers you his hand. So you take it, and you smile, and you remember to take another breath.
