the door to see through you

I.

I did see you saw me.
And if only I could give you the same
because only in them I saw
all the warmth and longing,
the dreams of something
I could never grant you.



II.

I wish you did not see me.
I wish these eyes were closed for you to see
the yearning, the tenderness,
the wishes
that I kept to keep,
because I know,
those eyes were seeing me
but someone else.



III.

If you want to know what is real
look at their eyes
because only then
you'll know what is real,
what is not,
and if they're even open for you
to see.
