Reflections/As Time Allows

The blacked-out windows

Dark and spotless show

Reflections akin to the 

Depthless lakes of time

It is almost

Terrifying

Forlorn and predatory

Almost

But you are here and instead

It is our sweet untamed world there

Scuffed knees and intricate 

Architecture

Drowning in flora and majesty

And as I realize how much more I

Have to grow

See where my angles are still

Lanky 

Occasionally off-putting

The world in the mirror only knows

How I smile when I see you like

Maybe this was meant to be

And whatever comes next you will

Find me by your side

As much as time allows
