The woman I love, whom I will always love. Her blue eyes always get to me. She hasn’t changed a day since I met her.
But the mirror lies. And the world lies. And she, like so many good women, obsess at times over externals and appearances.
Therefore birthdays are touchy subjects. Jewelry is always a safe gift. Or a weekend cottage at a secluded beach.
But I would like most of all to give her the ability to see herself as I see her. For I see the real woman that she is, courageous, caring, generous and wise. Above all, she is very beautiful, but she doesn’t see it.
So this is the man’s quandry: How to tell her to look at herself as she is and to be happy with what she sees. For the mirror lies. And the world lies.
Guess I will just have to try to love her more.
