I look at you with envy, I take in the startling beauty of your appearance and the aura from your soul
I stand staring, unable to look away, drawn to who you are
Even though I don't know what that may be.

Could I ever be like you?  Act like you?  Look like you?
Have the same impact you have, on those around you
I shy away from these thoughts, embarrassed that I even let myself think them
How could I even have compared myself to you, I would never be in your league.

Yet you look back at me, with wondering eyes, are you guessing my thoughts
Is your look surprise?
You look for longer than I expected, seemingly taking in what you see
What could you possibly find interesting enough, to keep looking at me?

As we regard one another, taking in what we see
My feelings are awe and thoughts of who I dare to dream to be
Little do I know, in your mind, your thoughts are kind
You are not judging me, or putting me down
It's the opposite in fact, you are somehow enthralled by me.

If only I could have sensed that
Instead I felt so incomparible to your beauty and confidence,
Envious of your self assured appearance.

Wouldn't it be amazing, if for just one moment, you could see yourself
Through someone else's eyes
Imagine how different, things could be.
