Reflections

I caught you watching me
in the bathroom mirror
before cereal yesterday morning.
I looked at you, looking at me
and wondered
do you see me fading?

When you looked straight
into my blue eyes
straight through-into the part of me
only you my dear are allowed to see,
did you notice the fade to gray?

Remember you loved me first
when my black hair so long
and my blue eyes so bright.
You say you love me still-love me the same
when my black hair falls our and my blue is gray-
This is not your choice of course
and I will always know that
my love.
