Joyful, At Last!

Why? Why can' I see?
I wish I saw the you do.
But in my eyes, I'll always be
The one I've been since before you knew.

You see my beauty
I see only pain.
I see my stupidity,
But you know of my brain.

You only see good,
I know only bad.
You tell me I'm the best
That you've ever had.

So what's going on here?
Why can't I see?
Perhaps I am blind
To the way you view me?

But how can that be?
It's been me all along!
Perhaps I was weak,
But you're making me strong.

Perhaps I was deaf
Now you're helping me hear
The sweet sounds of love
Now so loud! So clear!

And perhaps I was blind,
But I'm beginning to see...
That girl in the mirror,
She just can't be me.

For she is so distant,
So lost in the past.
And me? Well I'm happy!
I'm joyful...at last!
