Open close

I stood in front of a mirror thinking about what would be

I close my eyes and I open them,

I could see dreams come true,

Not just good but the bad ones too:

"You will be okay"

Deep breath and I try to look back

I close my eyes and I open them,

I see the memories I treasure,

Desparately search for me but:

"Others were more important"

I was close to tears

I close my eyes and I open them,

I see not the blotchy reflection,

Nor the endless journey ahead but:

"I see me"

Cheers to a summer that taught me a few principles:

• develop infinite patience (future)
• to always share and care (past)
• never to give up (present)

I close my eyes and I open them,

I see things as if

I am seeing them for the first time.
