Today
I saw myself in the mirror
And the mirror smiled at me
A delightful smile
Illuminated by the sun
Then your hands
Hands on my chest, soft
And my smile lit up even more
Illuminated by you, my sun
And all the rust of my years
Fell to lie on the floor
Detached from my body
And my smile lit up ever more
And with the young reflection
Now seen in the mirror
The reflection of your back
And my smile lit up ever more
Then my hands, rough
Hands on your back, silk
And your smile lit up
And I lit like a star
And our niche the mirror reflected
Like a window to peek through
With the sun illuminating our pleasure
Lighting up, for ever more
