I will look beyond myself,
for the life she lives is hers,
just as potent as any of mine.
I wonder at how she fears
the biggest choices of her life,
I know the face she makes
is what she does her best to hide.
But there’s so much
that speaks directly to me,
the soundtrack in her head
sounds just like mine.
Does that smile in her eyes
meant for me,
the way it looks
seems oh, so close to my thoughts.
Does it mean to her, to me
the way it seems?
She doesn’t seems to lie.
I’m turning it over in my head,
holding a thought in my hands,
so different,
yet so familiar.
I will look beyond myself
to see the movement
behind all of her.
From direct, honest sarcasm,
to the darkest moments,
creeping on all over
the back of her mind.
If I’m as much myself as I am,
come to see what she is too.
So good to know I’m not alone.
I will look beyond
myself in her.
