Face To Face

We always start across the room Yet end up side by side. I'd tell myself you're like the rest, But then I'd have to lie. Oftentimes I wonder: why you?-- Still young, finding your place. But maybe, like a mirror, through you I see myself face to face. Today, mid conversation, I saw it in your eyes-- A shift so subtle and so plain, Like lifting off a guise. I pretended not to notice, But inwardly I smiled, 'Cause I just lifted off my own. I like this; It's been a while.
