Projections
I thought for so long
That all I needed was you
But really
All I needed was the truth
The truth of my own being
Owned within myself
Not projected outward
Onto someone else's life
I was looking in a mirror
It took me so long to see
That what I loved in you
Was what I loved in me
Aware of my projections
I see reality
All laid out and bare
Staring back at me
Now as I look at you
I see you for you and me for me
Aware that my love for you
Is really love of me
I thought for so long
That all I needed was you
But really
All I needed was the truth
The truth of my own being
Owned within myself
Not projected outward
Onto someone else's life
I was looking in a mirror
It took me so long to see
That what I loved in you
Was what I loved in me
Aware of my projections
I see reality
All laid out and bare
Staring back at me
Now as I look at you
I see you for you and me for me
Aware that my love for you
Is really love of me
