Every time you hold her hand
I hope she holds it tighter than your grip
Like I used to;
I hope you see me.

Every time you hold her body against yours
Like a blanket,
Warmth for your cold heart;
I hope you see me.

Every time you look into her eyes,
I hope you see constellations
In the universe of her wholeness;
I hope you see me.

Every time you kiss her with your chapped lips --
Hers, soft and warm against yours --
I hope you taste endless summer and winter;
I hope you see me

Every time you say 'I love you'
To the woman who replaced my place in your heart,
I hope you see me, too;
Because until now, the only thing I see
Is you
