High Regard - Jenny O.

In the line of sympathy reserved for anyone

With the eyes I lay upon a stranger

With the same acceptance

And the high regard

With the curiosity

And the light that another brings

With the light that the other brings

As I do for them

As I do for them

I will do for me

I will do for me

I will do for me

With only modest expectation

The untold liberty for a friend

With the very forgiveness

And the high regard

And without apology

And a lack of scrutiny

In the light that a lover brings

With the light that the lover brings

With the same affection

As I have for them

As I have for them

I will have for me

I will have for me

I will have for me

I will have for me
