When we met it was a little uncanny to see in u what I see in myself. I was
Trying my hardest to
Act as if I never recognized it, but with each breath
I
Took the task became highly impossible.
U spoke so rhapsodizing that all who heard you were captivated
Even if u spoke in a mere whisper. It was as if u were cloned
In my very essence, and injected with all my obsessions.
You were I and I was you. I became intimidated by your very
Presence, and it was obvious by my defensiveness towards u.
I felt the same from u, but you tried not to make it known.
Both totally in awe of what was happening, we began to
Engage in playful forms of escapism. Out of reality
Into fantasy was our way of coping..
You were an internal vision of myself with a fraternal
Outer shell. U were a image of what I feared, wanted, craved
And longed for. However; we couldn’t handle the obvious
So instead of looking at the reflections we turned away.
