Remember that.
This is about me
and sometimes you.
I have just reached twenty-two.
What an unglamourous age filled with questions
and doubts.
Heartache arrives in droves when I realize
I have not achieved my goals.
You wished me a happy birthday
but did not use my name.
Casual, like our acquaintance.
I am a cowardess and you, a coward.
We understand how the other works because
we are one another.
You are me and I am you
and yet, we are two
worlds apart.
