The Girl In The Mirror
The girl in the mirror-stares back at me-
With a look that seems to know too much-
And a heart that's never felt the Burn-
Of a gentle-yet fulfilling-Love.

She speaks, smiles and laughs-
But has never felt the pain of regret-
Yet seems to still cry ever so carefully and still content-
Eventually this girl in the mirror realizes the pain of regret.

The girl in the mirror is made of cold crystal-
Hard enough to feel-
But who is to say she isn't real-
Or rather...
Which one of us is really real?

The girl in the mirror is a peculiar thing-
She doesn't seem to ache from pain-
But while I seem to suffer and endure-
The girl in the mirror merely.Breaks.

Still through it all...
I realize my true happiness;
It is the excitement and joy of our friendship
Which defends me from any kind of sadness.

So for everything you say and do
I thank you for allowing me to be me
And loving me ever so true.

And with everything I say and do
I will try to express my true feelings
And how very much I love you.

I will never intentionally do anything to hurt or upset you
Because my love for you is truer than true
And I will
ALWAYS love you.
