Miserable. That's how I feel since I can't say that you're my girlfriend. In the mirror I can see my misery. But if I could get close enough to you to see my reflection in your eyes, I know there would be a difference in what I see. As I'd hold you close to me, my reflection would show a smile spread across my face. I'd look relaxed. I'd look alive and well. I'd look like I could say that you're my girl. But without you now, I and other people see me as a fool. What do you see in me?
