Because I love you

I don't love myself.

I look to be you

in every way. 

I walk like you do.

Talk like you do.

Do you see me? Do you?

I do you better than

you do you. 

Because I love you,

I am no longer.

You. You

take me away from myself.

I see your perfect life and need to be

you. You

never stare back and

I, I

only stare ahead, at

my future, what I could be:

You.
