Poem

I see you,
as clearly as I see my own hand,
as I see the eyes in the mirror
that know me completely.
I wouldn't dare hide anything from you,
not before a face I know as my own,
not before a soul that feels the stabs
that were left in my heart,
as if it were theirs that were being cut,
and I know that it was.
I see you!
I know the reasons why you ask if you are beautiful.
They are the same questions I ask myself.
If only I could answer you
and you answer me,
maybe then we would feel loved tonight!
I dare ask you what you see in me,
if you dare to answer me honestly
and I will do the same for you,
for you are me

I see you!
I see that heart the breaks
as the history of your life
shatters into innumerable tears.
I would catch them if I could,
but they are my own!
I'll hold onto you,
for as long as you hold onto me.
I love you!
I see you!
