Narcissus’ Redemption

If you knew how I live,
Would you ever go away?
Would you ever want a moment alone,
Or would you want to bask in me?

If you knew how I see you,
Would you care to look away?
Would you fall in love, as I do,
With every thought, word, action in you?

Are you afraid to be Narcissus,
Afraid to lose your false humility,
Afraid to gaze in the glaze of waters
Afraid to be who you were born to be?

Are you afraid to be so close to me
Because you’re afraid to be so close to you?
Afraid to admit the girl you love
Because she is so nearly you?

Give me a moment with your mind.
Give me a moment in your heart.
Give me your hand, your lips, your you;
Let me put everything in view.
