The side mirror...

He cries with me
He cries when I make him cry

He laughs with me, at me
He also laughs when I laugh at him

He holds me tight when I am near
He craves to hold me when I am not

He wants to see me
So he closes his eyes

He wants to feel me
He does that through his mind

He loves me day and night

He said he'll follow me to hell
A place not meant for him

He wants to be close to me
Even when he can’t

HE KISSES ME ON THE FOREHEAD

He sits across so that
He can look at my face

He notices every smile
That escapes my face

He notices every frown
That passes in a flash

He notices every desperation

He notices every move I make

He notices everything

But he doesn’t know
I do the same...


I look at him in that side mirror

But sometimes I don’t notice
When he looks at me through the same mirror

We look at each other
We look in the eye


We sit on a table in a restaurant
That has a side mirror
On his right and on my left

He looks to his right
I don’t realize
I keep looking straight
When I realize,
I look left
And see him in the eye

We look for a while
Then feel conscious
And suddenly we look away

I’ve never felt so shy

And then ask..."WHAT?”

Something happened
We both notice that glitter in the eyes
We both do the same things


But then one day
I hid something, don’t know why
I lied, still don’t know why
I know how much he hates it

He never cries
I knew only I could make him cry

I told him I lied
I had to

He cried but I couldn’t see his tears
He cried through me

He was shocked
He was heartbroken
He trusted me blindly
He was speechless
He was numb
He couldn’t think
He couldn’t feel
He was angry


But I realized something

HE STILL KISSES ME ON THE FOREHEAD

...MORE THAN EVER...

...AND SO DO I...!
