Let's say I am the woman you seek, a silent shadow, a gentle enigma

Let's say I am the woman you seek, a silent shadow, a gentle enigma, with a discreet smile and few words, a delicate presence that doesn't overshadow, you might think I am calm, easy to love, a fragile being by my very nature, but inside—God, inside I'm another story, another universe. Within me hides a coldness, an almost selfish self-love, I look at people and feel nothing, listen to their stories and just pretend, the truth is I prefer to forget rather than care, to remember without purpose, I smile, nod, say the right words, but I know I am different. I don't want to be like them, for their world seems pale to me, their light dim, perhaps I was born this way, or perhaps somewhere, sometime, I chose another path, a path where love is a game that doesn't attract me, and kindness is a mask, which I wear every day, and yet, you will never know the truth. Because I show exactly what you want to see, a face sculpted in your desires, a hidden dream that always keeps its distance, a mystery you cannot unravel.
