First Look
I got my first good look
at what I wanted it to be
what I saw spread out
for me as far as I could see
you couldn't see it my way
you had a different view
this was all about me
you thought it was about you
so I started tweaking
trying to reshape it
cutting some of the corners
pulling it in a bit
that changed it completely
now the only thing I saw
it was all to your benefit
no longer about me at all
I'm going back to the beginning
back to that very first look
to what I thought was perfect
like the ending in a favorite book
it needs to be about both of us
half and half is best
then we each get what we need
forget about all the rest
