My eyes were yours

As was my heart;

I focused on you

And forget that it was I

Who was looking.

It took fifteen years

of wakefulness and dreams 

For me

To finally close my eyes 

And be still;

All that time

For me

To let myself disintegrate

And build anew.

You know what I learnt?

I had all the parts I needed 

To create a brand new me;

It was me, all along,

Who I needed to see.
