It’s unmistakeable to see the light in his eyes and know what it means. His voice is more distinct, speaking clearer, stronger than before. His face beams with an evanescence brighter than the sun.

This new day has dawned; the day of recognition. The empowerment of self awareness, self expression done more freely, unafraid. He stands proud of his new-found bravery. Carefully sharing, yet confidently gleaming with the glimmers of a true epiphany.

As I stand witness to this new version of the man I love, I am proud to call him my friend, lover, life companion. Seeing his emotional evolution inspires me to push through all the difficult we have been through. It brings both  tears of joy and sorrow to my eyes, for I know all too well the path that lead to this new discovery. Notwithstanding, I am content to enjoy an ignition of hope in my heart that tomorrow will bring eternal euphoria.
