When I first met you
I saw myself
You were me
The way you looked for confirmation
The way those beautiful eyes did a quick scan of the surroundings
How with each glance you grew quieter
How you stood back and kept fiddling with those slender fingers of yours
How you stuttered
How your lips quivered
How you were scared
How you feared yourself,
those around you
How people never stayed and you just stood there
I saw myself in you
You were me
