I grow
I change
I look outside
I see you
Do you see me?
You were always there
Looking back at me,
Judging me
I always thought of that as a bad thing
I hated seeing you.
I still hate seeing you
But it’s different
You’re different
But you never were
You’re the same and that’s why I love you
I guess I always hated you because of how often I had to see
you
You were always there
You saw me change
Even if I never wanted to
I didn’t want to see you everyday
I didn’t want you to see my imperfections
I didn’t want to see you.
But as soon as I left
I missed you
I needed you
But I shouldn’t care
I shouldn’t worry
You were always just a light
A distant orange light
