already in a reflection

burned into my mind
so soft, so fierce
so regal, and i found myself
wishing, whispering
you don’t know but
i’m already yours
even if you aren’t
mine to have
this is my penance
i gladly serve my time
put your hand o’er my heart
and pull the curtain back
and if you find my kiss
on your forehead
it means i’m yours
already
