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.
