I see the reflection of your face in the mirror

As you give yourself yet another disgusted look

I can hear that little voice inside your head

As you wonder what I must think of you

 *

But if there’s one thing we’ve never really agreed upon

It’s the question of your worth

You imagine that I simply put up with you

While I think of you as God’s special gift

 *

You see a woman who’s getting older

While I see all the years that we’ve shared

You see the wear & tear of the miles

While I’m reminded of our amazing journey together

 *

You see a woman who’s lost her shape

While I see the mother of our beautiful children

You see all the things you want to change

While I see the things I never want to live without

 *

You say that love is blind

But I say that it has x-ray vision

You say that I am biased

And I wonder why I’d be any other way

 *

How could I separate my heart from all the love that we’ve shared

Or my mind from all that we have learned together

How could I ever look at you like some stranger on the street

And divorce myself from the understanding of who you really are

How could I ever look into your eyes

And not see the soul that has so often touched my own

 *

We are like two old trees

Whose roots and branches have become intertwined

It’s no longer clear where one ends & the other begins

And the only way to separate us would be to cut us into pieces

 *

If you wonder what I see when I look at you

I see love

I see beauty

I see my destiny
