EYES CHANGE THE 'S' TO 'C'

In your eyes I'm invisible.
In mine you're invincible.
You will live in me
years after your life ends.
I will follow in your footprints
but someday I'll make my own.
They may not be as deep as yours are
but they will be just as important.
Even though you are the only thing in my life
I know I'm not important in your life.
But, I promise you now,
someday you'll look at me and see me
and maybe even call me by name.
