I looked at myself
On a full-length mirror

While looking at my hair,
I remembered the feeling
When you caressed my locks
Until I fell asleep

While looking at my shoulders,
I remembered the way
Your arms enveloped me
As you gave me only half a hug

While looking at my hands,
I remembered how you grabbed them
Whenever we joined the crowds,
And also, the nights I spent crying into them
When you left me.

I remembered how I kneeled
To beg for your forgiveness
And how I am on my knees as I prayed
To ask the Lord for you to come back

I asked myself,
“How can I move on
When even just looking at myself
Makes me think of you?”
