Reflection

Each night she looked outside her window.
Searching for something.
Searching for anything.
Any sign of hope that there was another
lost soul out there waiting for love,
waiting for her.
Each night all she saw was the streetlight
shining bright on the lonely road.
Ten years passed by.
Then one night she realized what she
was looking for was staring at her all this time.
She had found love after all these lonely years
and not just love between a man and women
but love within herself.
Each night after that she looked out into the world
and felt complete and utter peace knowing
no matter what happened outside her window,
she could always rely on her reflection.
