See Me See You (Do You See Me See You?)

"Tell me why again."

"Because when you look at me, all you see is what I lack."

"My eyes see what they see."

"That's true."

"—but that's not all there is to it. My heart, it sees what it should see. All the sides that matter and all that shouldn’t. And you don't see that."

"My eyes are clear."

"It's not. Because you can't see how I love you. You know what that means?"

"Some."

"It means I see you with my heart. You should see that, but you don’t.”

"My eyes see what they see."

"That's true. That's true."

He shall love my soul as though
body were not all,
he shall love your body,
untroubled by the soul,
love cram love’s two divisions
yet keep his substance whole.
William Butler Yeats, The Lady’s Second Song
