The Lost Friend

Looking into the mirror,

I see someone.

She peers into my eyes.

Am I the one,

Whom her heart desires?

But when has she ever won?

Her pleas would never suffice.

A lost friend was she to me.

But today, it is not the same.

I see in her, a part of me.

My deep dismay and merry joys,

All reside in her eyes.

How long can she subside?

How long can I hide?




Today, as we reunite,

We smile at each other,

and wipe our tears.

As we embrace,

I feel our fears recede.

They could no longer persuade,

The course of my stream.
