When I look into the mirror all I see is him loving me the way you couldnt.
I see the way he will kiss me the way you failed to.
I see the way he will hold me closer than you ever could.
I feel the reassurance that I never got from you.
I hear the way he will exclaim that I am beautiful, the way you never did.
I see the strength and dignity I dug from within myself.
No thanks to you.
