The man in the mirror.


I always wondered who he was and where he was from.

Something about the look in his eyes made me feel like I’ve seen this man b4.

Scared to make eye contact so I look down; then I wondered, is he friend or foe.

Finally got the courage to look at him like a real man would, but the outcome was a

shock.

I seen tears falling down his cheek looking just as warm as mine; could almost feel

it burn his Skin.

Then I realized he was the man in the mirror.

He smiled; and only then, I knew me and this man shared the same pain.

I don’t know 'why? ' but lord help me coz I think i`m falling for this man.

Not part of the plan but every time I walk past the mirror, can’t resist to look in his

eyes.

He took my fantasies and made em` reality

And for this I promise him eternity.

So till the end, he’ll always be family.

My life, couldn’t understand the faded visions but with time, the picture gets

clearer.

Hate to admit it but damn, I think i`m in love wit the man in the mirror.




Love u baby girl






Daddy
