Everyday I look at you, <br />What I see has changed over the years, <br />But what I see is you not me. <br />I haven't changed, <br />That simply can't be, <br />I must still be the young person, <br />Who stood before you, <br />Oh so long, long ago, <br />Where or where did all of that time go! <br /> <br />Look, let me turn on the light, <br />There, you can see me all right? <br /> <br />Come over here, I would like to see, <br />Maybe it is not me after all. <br />Surely, I don't live in the past, <br />Let's just get out of here fast. <br /> <br />Now, I never go by another mirror, <br />Life is just far too short, <br />I cannot stand what I see <br />And I don't want to fail either you or me. <br /> <br />You see life is short, <br />And we are just a mere reflection, <br />Not of what we are, <br />But what we want to be.<br /><br />Nadalia Bagratuni<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mere-reflection/
