Self love
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.
