There was this perfect moment
In a faraway land
When I saw my reflection
Glowing from the kindest eyes
And I saw what you saw
And that’s who I wanted to be
Amazing, worthy, beautiful, complex
Every wretched piece
You soothed for the sum of my value
Nothing
I wake amidst my nightmares
In this faraway land
And I can barely see my face
Fading in those tired eyes
I saw what you saw
And that wasn’t who I wanted to be
Restless, edgy, confusing, a mess
Every wretched piece
You were left bereft at the sum of my value
Nothing
I wish I could take that perfect moment in time
And seal it up in a faraway land
So I could never forget that precious day
When you bewitched me with the warmth of your eyes
And taught me to believe
I could be who I wanted to be
