one split second

in one split second, a person's face could portray its true feelings.

it is shown in one split second before a laugh or a cry, a smile, a frown, or however they try to react. looks can be deceiving but the split second won't. that is why the same person you see could look very different then compared to now.

i have known and experienced this.

when people say they fall in love with someone because of how they look, i don't think they mean their face but their expression. maybe they have somehow seen the person's naked, bare and true soul through that split second portrayal.

but what good will that be, do we have to know it all.some things are better left unsaid, untouched, unknown.let them hide behind their masks. let their true feelings lay hidden. ignore what you see, they might not want anyone to know.

because if looks can be deceiving, maybe hearts can too.
