I'm surrounded by love
No
I'm surrounded by people who love each other
It used to make me smile
Make me feel warm inside
When I'd watch from the side lines as fingers intertwined
Soft lips brushed against one another
a silent declaration of "I adore you"
Now the sight makes the temperature beneath my skin plummet
And I rub my frozen hands up and down my arms
Desperate for heat
I grieve when their eyes meet
I grieve for the loss of something I've never known
I grieve for the girl I used to see in every reflection
She isn't there anymore
"To be loved is to be seen"
And I can't see myself anymore.
