I walked through a room
With a mirror plastered across the wall

as I walked by
I noticed a stranger glancing curiously at me

He had a familiar face
One you can't quite place
Like the boy who passes by you in the hall
Or the actor on that show you don't watch

He had wondering, shining, beautiful blue eyes
Staring at me like I was strange, yet memorizing
Looking me over
Figuring out who I was

He stood in a room I walked 100 times
wearing the same blank outfit
I dawned earlier that day

He looked into my eyes
And I looked into his.
The cold glares we shared
Made me shiver and freeze
Like a lost wolf in a cold winter swale
The stranger looked terrified and unappealing
His eyes, deep in thoughts I couldn't recognize

For a long time, we gawked

Right as my thoughts filled with her face
The strange boy in the mirror had a look spark his eye I was finally able to decipher

It flowed with wonder,
Determination,
Loss,
Grief,
And above all,
Love.

As I squandered off back to my peaceful sanctuary
I knew I'd never forget that strange boy

With the familiar yet far away face

And the icy, lost blue eyes
