From behind she looked like her,
Walked like her,
I was sure it was her,
I hastened my steps to reach her,
Was delighted to have caught a glimpse of her,
I smiled at the thought of our union,
Each step I took my heart raced,
Joy, elation, excitement,
At meeting my friend,
I reached her,
With a ready hug,
Smile on my lips, glow in my eyes,
I tapped her on the shoulder,
When she turned,
My mouth dropped.
It was not her…
The embarrassment….
The scorn in her eyes,
The humiliation when she said
“Do I know you?”
I almost asked the earth to open up.
