With time you become a piece of me. You touch people’s lives and make them happy I admire you. I admire the you in me. I admire myself. You have the secret to happy dreams. You are admirable. You have it. If I were you, I would have it. If I had it, I would be admirable. But if I were you, you would not be unique, And I would not admire you. I would not admire myself because I would not admire the you in me. Should I dream sweet dreams and awake to someone else’s reflection? Should I just admire the piece of me that is admirable? Should I just admire the you in me? Should I open the doors only I have the key to? Should I admire the rest of me that is unique? If I admired the me in me, I would hold the key to a happy life. I would be admirable. I would not admire being you, or partly you. I would admire me for being me.
