Reassurances

I swear

Look at me

Look at my eyes

Don't you see

The way you shine in them?

Watching you

Apologizing

For mistakes you never made

For questions you asked

For every little thing

I only wish

My mind would turn to glass

So even if it were fragile

You might be able to see your reflection

As I see you

That you might realize your curiosity

Brought me to you, 

and I swear it won't send me away

Look me in my eyes

Believe for but a moment

The way I do

In the reassurances I wish I could offer you

That your words aren't wrong

That your questions aren't nosy

I may never change your mind

Though I do so wish I could

So when you worry darling

Come to me

Tell me what's wrong

Tell me what you're thinking

Tell me if you aren't thinking

Tell me if nothing's wrong

And either way

Look in my eyes

As I say these things to you

And tell me if it looks

Like they could lie

When I say

You're perfect
