Sometimes we catch a glimpse
of the person we should have
been, the one that patiently
waited inside us, a mere cocoon,
for their inevitable emergence;
but something went wrong,
and they withered, and they
died, inside us. Yet, in that
glimpse of an alternate existence,
softly bitter and oddly comforting,
they are in their full, casual
glory, clothed in a life worth
living, gracefully gifting us
an almost understanding
smile as we part.
