Times long gone; forsaken;
My vague and rusty past.
Moments lost and forgotten,
Through you, they always last.

The paths through life not taken;
Opportunities and decisions too;
Dreams, to be realized and broken;
My life, me; I see it, through you.

Through you; fragile; pure; I see,-
My genesis; every last memory,
Battling fate, learning to be me;
I see every detail of my life story.

You're like a mirror, in my future,
Through you, I see what I was.
I see, vividly, the whole picture;
Strokes of my strengths and flaws.

In you, my whole life is mapped;
Moments untouched; my destiny;
Like a dear present, unwrapped,-
Through your eyes, I see me.

Through your smile, I see hope.
I behold, me getting up after a fall.
Struggles on the route to the top;
Successes and failures; I see it all.

Through your tears, I see pain;
The essence of joy, love and faith.
Despair; the background of gain,
But beyond the hurt, I see strength.

Strength to overcome opposition.
Courage to look failure in the eye;
Will, pride, joy, and determination-
To spread my wings, to learn to fly.

In your silence, I feel my peace;
Composure in my loud thoughts;
Imagination; portraits of bliss;
I see the lines connecting the dots.

In your touch; untaught, harmless;
I feel love; energy pure and true.
One soul in two bodies; oneness;
I see us and I see me, through you.

Keep Smiling
