REFLECTIONS

I’m the person in the mirror,

That’s me looking at you,

And as you’re looking at me,

I can see everything you do.

I know I’m just your reflection,

Yet I’m me, and you’re you.

It gets so confusing,

Are we one, or are we two.

It gets even more confusing,

Because I’m the opposite of you.

I’ll always be on the other side,

Of everything you do.

If you’re right, I’m left.

If you’re left, I’m right.

It’s clearer in the mirror,

To see our opposites plight.

I’ll wave hello, I’ll wave goodbye.

There’s nothing I can say.

It’s time for us to be going,

As we turn and walk away.
