I hide from my reflection
While you clearly see through me
I look for mirrors to find myself
Yet somehow when I'm near, they disappear
I'm stuck in this constant chase for identity
I have to run, or I will sink in place if I stand still
I think friends, girlfriends will help,
A new perspective, one, two, multiple, perhaps,
In the end I'm looking for my happiness, this asymptote,
That zenith that everyone seems to feel,
That elusive peace, one day it will be mine
It's a wonder why you stick by my side
What's in it for you? Potential? A future?
Have you realized it yet, what you're doing?
You seem so self aware, that I forget you're human too
I think on some level you're a computer program,
Carefully compiled lines of code,
When you are all over the place with emotion,
I see who you truly are
I see someone I relate to, someone like me, whom I understand
I see someone I can love even more
Why don't you leave, if you're not getting what you want?
You say I'm not going anywhere because I'm scared...
Maybe I just don't want to..
But dare I ask, sweetheart,
Aren't you on some level, settling, too?
