Sometimes I look in the mirror
But instead of me, I see you
My vision blurry, so I only see the outline
You have my eyes, my skin, my history
But it’s different for you
What would you make of it?
Do you wear your hair short like mine?
Do you wear dresses?
Do you have a favorite season?
What do you want to be?
Who do you want to be?
I imagine another world
Where you and I would laugh
Where we could have inside jokes
Where you and I could argue
A world where you can see the dragonflies
I would know you
Beyond more than a name
But that’s just in the mirror
And in the dim light
My eyes focus again
I see my own face staring back
And you’re not here
And you are just a feeling I remember
