Do you see me she asked him one night the real me or the me that I could become he sat there in silence looking up at her she waited for him to answer but he just hung his head finally after a while he said your present yourself in a way that I never could you pretend to be brave and bold and very self confident even though you are dying inside tell me when you look in the mirror who do you see what is it your trying to hide she sat down on the floor and quietly looked up at him it doesn’t matter who I see she said all that matters is who do you see when you look at me he ran his fingers through his dark hair I see a girl waiting to break free to escape this world she hates a girl ready to run away the first chance she gets I see many let downs and broken hearts yet your pretend nothing is wrong I see the disguise you use so well behind the pain and sorrow I see the person that I love a person I want to grow old with a person I would die for what do you see she had began to cry he slowly touched her face When I look at me she said I see pain and I see revenge I see a life that can’t be forgiven I see my life spinning out of control I see you without me continuing to grow at night I cry because I do not like what I see you say you love me but is it just pretend you tell me you need me but will you be there for me in the end are you lying to make me happy or have my eyes deceived me tell me why do you love me what is it that you see perhaps you are right he said maybe I am only pretend day after day I try and convince myself that its you I love and no one else I want you to believe that when I look at you I see me a person afraid to be alone a person who needs shelter from the storm I tried to hide these feelings of doubt but you just wont let me its simply not allowed you say that I pretend to love you perhaps that may be true but how can I love you I must be honest to myself and you should do the same how can you love me when its hard for you to love yourselfBirth sign: Aries
