I Can See

sometimes
i look at myself
in the mirror
and i can see
all the marks of time

i can see
the scar above my right eye
from the day i fell in the pool

i can see
that one grey hair
that i didn’t have yesterday

i can see
the contacts in my eyes
that i never used to wear

i can see
that place where you and i
used to kiss each other

all these things
i think you would notice
because you still love me.
