I look up to find you staring intently back at me... 
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and you're staring deeply, intently, into mine...
Perhaps you're hoping to find what lies so deep within its depths... 

Suddenly, your words reverberate throughout the deepest, darkest recesses of my mind.
I'm trying to make sense of it...
I'm trying to understand it without feeling as if I'm falling into an open abyss of denial...

We lock gazes and you begin to speak, almost in a whisper...

Why won't you let me love you?
Why won't you forgive me? 
Why do you not accept me? 
Why are you ashamed of me?
Why are you not content?

Why don't you understand that loving me will make you happy? 
Why don't you understand that accepting all of me will leave you feeling complete! 
Why don't you understand that all you need is me??
 
I'm here... 
I'm waiting...

Waiting for you to come back to me... 
Waiting for you to love me...

I want to fulfill your dreams...
I can make you better... 
I can make you stronger... 
I can make you whole... 

The outside world doesn't care about you the way I do... 
Yet why do you continue to choose them over me... 
How has that helped you??

You're absolutely lost... 
You're so alone... 
You're completely broken... 
You're nothing but an empty shell... 

Can't you see that my love is real? 
Can't you see that my love is unconditional? 
Can't you see that my love is genuine? 

When will you give me the chance??
When will you acknowledge me?? 
When will you accept me?? 

Your words dance across every fibre of my mind like scattered pin points of light.
The truth of your words slice through my heart... 
A clean cut...
Straight through... 
All I have left is this last story...
I look at you once again... 
My reply is simple... 
Yet it's the hardest thing to admit...

I'm quiet for the longest time...
Still staring intently at you...
Searching those eyes for answers...
Searching for a glymse of the soul that resides within! 

I'm trembling all over from the sheer intensity of our gazes... 
And finally it begins to dawn on me...
My gaze falters for a split second before connecting to yours again... 
My voice is filled with an aching sadness as I reply:

I will only love you when I've learnt to love my reflection in the mirror...
Because YOU are MY reflection...
YOU are ME!!
