Back then
She used to walk down the halls
The perfect imitation of a smooth, graceful glide
There was nothing real in her smile, in the white teeth
She let herself drift among the mass of chaotic voices
And now
That memory has suddenly been triggered in my brain
Something about her that I will never forget
The way her eyes would reveal it all
And yet she managed to somehow hide himself behind each shadow
And now
I wonder where she is, what she has become
After all these years of keeping her inside a tucked up corner
We have never once spoken to each other
So why does my heart suddenly seem to sympathize with her
Back then
She was everything fake
Only to please what others wanted her to be
And now
I have become who she once was
Tiptoeing about my true form and sacrificing my will
Back then
She felt too exposed to identify her true feelings
A daily struggle inside her faltering world
And now
I have let myself feel her naked emotions
The only person able to see through her eyes
And now, I have changed
Into this odd girl I knew back then
