The One / My Reflection
Folder:
Love looking the mirror
this girl i see
is changing, i dont recognize her
they say this girl is me
have my eyes always been so dark?
were those freckles there yesterday?
i think back but cant remember
what i looked like before today
i keep looking at this reflection
im staring at the glass
i keep slipping into daydreams
of years long since past
daydreams of summers
when who i saw was me
days when it didnt matter
days when i was carefree
my focus returns
my eyes full of tears
i blink and they fall
splash and disappear with my fears
this reflection is so different
but i dont want it to be the same
you love me for what i am now
ill try my hardest not to change
leaning in, i look closer
analyzing every inch of skin
wipe them away, these tears are drying
maybe this is a game i can win
but its a game of me against myself
and you will find that in the end
that even through changes, you will only be you
and the homestrech is right around the bend
so i look at her and smile
she seems so happy and free
sorry it took so long to accept
that this girl is me
turn out the light, close the door
ive seen all i needed to see
i usually leave her there crying
but im taking this girl with me
step outside into the sun
and another freckle appears
but now im not so ashamed
of change, i no longer fear
get in my car, and drive to you
to thank you for all youve done
you werent afraid to look inside
im thinking that you're the one
the one that told me im beautiful
the one that i can believe
the one that is my world now
the one that ill never leave
