You and Me

I woke up
From a nightmare
A decade ago
About being
Alone

I got up
And looked in the mirror
And saw You
Your beautiful soft face
Wavy hair
And those eyes

I looked inside
And saw myself
Strong
Confident
Happy
So I went
Back to sleep

I awoke again
This morning
From another nightmare
And looked in the mirror

And there you were
Just As I had left you
I peered again
Into your eyes

And this time
I saw you
And the kids
All my happiness
But yet something
Was missing

I tried
To turn over
And scream
"How could you
Have gotten rid
Of me?"

But then
I realized
That the mirror
Was more a reflection
On me
Then you
