I dare not look into your eyes
In fear of what I will see
But alas a drop of courage
I peek up and who is reflected back at me?

My shame, my pain, all my soul’s grime and goo
They all disappear when I look at you.

Shroud me in your ardent arms
Drowning in an embrace so sweet.
Catch me as I fall deeper into your love
I burn to feel your heat.

What good is it you see in me
That in your eyes I find my divinity?
How high a pedestal you’ve left me on
Of which my regrettable soul is unworthy.

But your eyes, your kiss, your touch
Makes all that disappear
And all I’m left with
Is an image of a woman so clear.

So true, unadulterated, untainted by fear
Who is that?
The girl you’re reflecting back at me.
I feel the familiar pull, and if I close my eyes I can just see.

How wonderful it is to see myself in you
I rest easy, feeling so secure
Comforted that at least in one person
I am pure.
