As he spent each day with her, and knowing that he had known her for so long, he had to be genuine, and now more than ever. He told her everything he'd been thinking, his story, and why he had come back for her. He could see that doing so would never do any more harm than good.

It had been hard because of how he didn't feel full security yet in his life, he had problems trusting whether she would stay true, and he worried they would fall apart once again.

Even if showing her his real self would ruin something, it was better to fail as who you are then imitate righteousness while wearing the mask of something else.
If you were to look into his eyes at any given moment, you would see nothing but pure, forthright honesty.

He finally started to realize that the world will always fight, criticize, and follow blindly. Some things were beyond his control; many things he couldn't change.

Authenticity is the key to progression.

We are all lights, lights of energy and memories, each not a drop in a pond, but the entire body of water.
So, we are all like rare gems, and shine bright, with each our own glowing presences. The universe will never revolve around a single being, but every being will remain a part of the entire universe.
It is an eternal connection.
