Reflections Reflections

As I look in to the mirror
I don't know who it is I see.
there's a stranger standing there
and she's staring back at me.

Her puzzled stark expression,
reflecting how I feel,
I move a little closer
reaching out to see if she is real.

My hand, it can not reach her
the glass is in the way
who is she, the reflection
oh that can't possibly be me.

Her eyes look sadly at me
with a look filled with despair
I wish I could just hold her
and show her that I care.

Her smile, it started slowly
then spread across her face so wide
she knew she was accepted
and she didn't need to hide.

So, once again I reach out
and this time so does she
and as our hands, they touch together
I realise she is me.
