Reflection
Today
I've been watching you
I know there's pride and love in my eyes
I love you and that's always true
But there was a time when I didn't know you.
Last year.
Today
Our friend, our center
He turned adult at eighteen.
For both of us he's leader father mentor
He's the one who brought us together
Last year.
Today
I realized how far I've come
Just last year I was hated and angry a suicidal mess
I wanted to speak, but I was dumb
Then I met him and he warmed the numb
Last year.
Today
I remembered what he told me
I stared into the west “The sunset is so lovely...”
“But dear, you're more beautiful, you see.”
He told me don't give up when I wanted to melt into a dream
Last year.
Today
This same day just one short year ago
I walked into his apartment, shook hands with sister and mother
I stood shyly, not really knowing where to go
Then you slipped through his door.
Last year.
Today
I still remember the first thing I thought:
“Sha, but he's so beautiful- is he truly real?”
You were real and true and then you loved me not
But something stirred inside my heart.
Last year.
Today
He looked at me and quietly smiled
He took my hand and placed it in yours
We met each other's gaze: I was lost in your eyes
You gave me your heart and I gave you mine
This year.
Today
It's exactly a year since we met
Now we're both are enthralled with the other
It's hard to describe this new emotion I get
Comfort, adoration, security or something like it.
This year.
Tonight
I nod to him, he who bade us meet
I embrace my newly found sisters with a kiss on the cheek.
I step away then look up smiling into your eyes
You wrap yourself around me and whisper that you're never letting go
This year.
Today
I bury my heart inside yours and seal it with a kiss
Hoping, praying, holding you so I never miss
Seeing that gentle loving smile, my favorite smile
Never want to miss that for even a second
This year.
Every day
Never once have I reckoned
That someone so perfect would want me, hold me so close
I'm forever to loyal to him, I'd lay down my life for him
But I'll always love you the most.
I want to be your other half and be by your side
For all of my years.
