I watched the play the other day
Where the leads remind me of us
He has your eyes
She has my smile
You know the one
The one where he feels trapped by his family
The one where she finally stands up for herself
The one where he loses her, for the same reasons you lost me
The one where he gives up the life chosen for him
The one where he forges his own path, despite his fear
The one where he fights
The one where he chooses her instead
The one where at the end I remember the truth
We only rehearsed the lines together
You were only ever the understudy
Reading the lines in secret
collective musings
