Silently I wait
for you to give me a glance
I have waited forever
for this simple chance
you look at me appraising
was it a worthy gamble
as my lips quiver
you wonder am i too much to handle?
you pull back a little
and i hesitate
is this heading to the old dreaded fate?
but somehow you stop
..others havent..
you smile a little smile
put your hands on mine
my eyes lock into yours
and peace prevails in my heart and minds war
the butterflies in my tummy
the mist in my eyes
you look at me with love
you say 'you are mine'
the scars on the face you kiss
the double chin you miss
the patches you dont see
the imperfect nose, may not be
you see what i wanted someone to see
just anyone, anyone who would love me
i say thank you for the gift
you smile
I close my eyes
they come in, the ones who have taunted
i look at them expecting,
their approval i have always wanted
they look past you at me
wondering the reason for my glee
they ask who do i see
i look at you, the mirror
and together we answer
me
