Only Through Your Eyes

A Poem

You see me through your eyes,
Your ex, your high school friend with the curly afro,
The woman who was short with you in the grocery line,
The crush that turned you down.

They are not me.

It makes me stop and think of the people I saw,
Not as themselves but who I imagined them to be.
