Look At Me

Soul baring to a lover.

Look At Me

As I stand before you,

Do you see me?

Close your eyes.

You’ll see me better now.

Do you see my insecurity

My shyness

My need for adulation, for strokes, for approval

My past hurts

My self-absorption

My selflessness

My solid-ness

My introspective nature

My generosity and giving

My romanticism

My need to be wanted

My fear of being old and alone

My unreserved love?

Open your eyes.

Take one more gaze.

Now close and look again

And again, and again.

Forever.
