in your eyes

in your eyes,
i see a better me,

a reflection of love,
compassion,
passion,
patience,
affection,
strength,
honesty.

in you eyes,
i see a prettier me.

a picture of beauty,
intelligence,
knowledge,
wisdom,
experience.

in your eyes,
i see a stronger me.

a vision of adventure,
challenges,
opportunities,
bravery,
independence.

in your eyes,
i see perfection.

the ups and downs,
the strengths and weaknesses,
the frailty and stubbornness,
the dreams and illusions,
the obsessions and realities,
all the shortcomings that made me what I am.

in my eyes,
I see You.

and the Perfection that is You.

and hope,
that you see it, too.
