On a straight mirror you stretch the glass Creating a doppelganger as the reflection. You ignore the almond eyes that house my soul And the lips which lift my down when we kiss. Why does beauty not know itself? When it’s a deliberate stranger to me. I have watched so many sunsets, To know that words are limited Beauty is beyond expression, Yet to me you define in a single kiss The inexpressible. I love the way you love the world. From the morning lark to the sun drenched clouds. I just wish you could love yourself As I have always loved you.
