the looking glass

I see my heart reflected
in your words.
So shocking it is enough 
to bring tears.
So THAT’S what it looks like -
unrecognizably me.
I never knew until
I found this looking glass -
sweet, wonderful you.
I never knew 
my heart was that color
or that; I never knew
it could paint such an
image of love as I
see reflected in you.
I would never 
know, never again 
be able to know,
such images
exist, or ever will,
were it not for you and
your looking-glass words
reflecting a person you
say is me, but whom
I can’t remember meeting before.
