I ran into the oddest of strangers today.
An old friend.
...An old acquaintance, at least.
A person that clung to me when I was young,
accepting me for anything I was.
Back when I didn't care for people.
I had bashed her ego to death,
so many years ago,
in my attempts to rid me of her.
Yet, still, she never let go.
Until I disappeared from her reach.
Now, almost a decade after,
I reemerge by chance.
I spotted her, glancing past.
She looked deep in my eyes,
crystal clear.
But she never saw me.
She saw part of what made her her,
and then, she walked away.
I wonder what I left her,
and what she gave me,
that this meeting was reverse of what should be.
I'll probably never know,
and she already understands.
...I wonder which one's a better road to know?
