reflections

does a mirror or a department store window ever
make you stop and reflect? about past friends,
acquaintances, or lovers? does the reflection of
yourself bring you any regrets? regrets of too

many things left unsaid or undone? we all have regrets,
but some of us have more than others. what are your
regrets, my friend? do you regret letting me go when i
was one of the best things to come your way? or do

you even realize what you lost? reflections - do you ever
think of me? i think of you often. whenever i
see even the smallest reminder of you. places where we
had good times, cars that look like yours, bacgammon

sets in shop windows. all things which cause pangs of
pain in my heart and soul. reflections often bring
pain, but sometimes, i think, if we didn't have pain we
wouldn't know that we were alive. and life itself,

is a reflection of many things which affect us in many
ways. pain, beauty, joy, confusion, anger, hate, love,
these are all reflections from the mirrors of our lives.
what we allow to be reflected from our souls is up to

us. we show only those things we want others to see. i
wish that we were like those mirrors and windows and
could reflect that which is truly to be seen. maybe then,
we could consider ourselves beautiful much in the way

we consider mirrors and windows to be beautiful. the light
that they reflect is the beauty that we see, and inside
everyone is a lovely light waiting to be reflected from our
souls. reflections - beauty shining out from our souls.
