Alter Ego

I saw her coming.
The version of myself I wanted to see,
I saw her in the corners of my eyes,
I felt her shouting at me from the future,
So loud I heard it through another dimension,
I felt her overwhelming confidence and
Clear sense of direction shaking the ground as I pass by her image
So much so that I forget about the past;
It melts away with her words, at her resurrection
As I make her come alive time after time,
My Alter Ego.
She lies within me and sometimes, if you look closely
You can see her within the cracks of my skin,
Beneath the fragments of my broken heart when,
Against all odds, I must find strength.

I must have seen her coming then,
When I had to talk to my love the first time,
She rose up like a hot spring inside of me,
Never letting me doubt myself.
An angel in disguise,
It must be the best disguise
Because I swear if you saw her you'd say
She looks just like me
And you would be so right,
So right you would be
But, although we look so similar,
She's not at all like me.
