you've only
seen yourself
two times:
taking a picture
and looking at the
image, or staring in the
mirror and looking at
your reflection.
you don't get to see
the way your eyes
light up when you talk
about something you love.
and you can never see
how beautiful you look
when you smile.
it's sad, really.
but i can promise you
i will be here everyday
to tell you what i see.
