Image
I looked in the mirror.
I saw not just a face
But a reflection of my past,
Laced with mistakes and tragedies.
I saw one space
Collecting all of my fears
I saw tears held back.
How many years I have not known my true self.
As long as it has taken to get back to you,
I would retrace every step
Just so that I could be here to say
I love you.
Because now I know the truth:
Love runs deep in the veins of the pulsing
Universe.
Love is my name, and
I’ll not soon forget who I see
When I catch my reflection
Gazing back at me.
