The Potential of My Own Self

I look at you
And see the potential

Of us
Of life
Of my own self

And I'm wondering
Why it took the reflection
in your eyes
For me to realize

All I was capable of
All I wanted
All I could give

I am thankful and hope you know

Shiver

Talking to you
And looking straight into your eyes
Is so much like
Stripping off my clothes

That I am left feeling cold
And exposed

I welcome the shivers
