I looked in the mirror,
And made a promise to a girl.
I told her not to be afraid,
I told her never to doubt herself.
She was trapped,
I told her she'd be free one day.
I told her not to worry,
That this world would be kind to her.
I told her I'd do anything to bring her here,
To let her escape.
She looked me right in the eyes,
And she smiled.
She smiled a beautiful smile,
Joyous, beaming, grinning.
She smiled a pure smile,
Not forced, not a hint of sadness.
She cried three tears,
Of unrelenting relief.
And she whispered back,
So quietly.
I got so close to the mirror,
My breath clouded over her lips.
She whispered,
I will be strong
And when I drew back,
The mist of my breath,
Formed a heart,
One heart,
Between the two of us.
