she sees the person that i truly am
by the way she looks at me,
and i always wanted to be worth the effort,
to become the hero from her reverie.

but a gaze right through her eyes;
i see myself tripping and failing.

this is the scariest part --
to get to see your lover every day;
to have her eyes greet you in daylight,
only to watch your self's reflection crash at bay.
