Oh when it starts
Two wholly new things
Recognizable yet usually different
You’re this I’m not
How curious is that
You look the same
As me but different
You’re not a mirror
Yet I see myself
In you or parts
Of me in you
Or parts of me
That I am missing
And want so desperately
So I say things
That you enjoy hearing
That keeps you close
Like those lines thrown
To boats to tie
Them to the shore
This is what it’s
Like when relationships start
