You passed a woman on the street You didn’t look her in the eye But you saw her face reflected in a puddle And you stopped for a moment when she smiled You leaned down and scooped it up And tucked it away, careful not to let it Drip through your fingers and escape You left her eyes and nose and cheeks But her smile you kept Hidden away And sometimes when you looked in the mirror You would take it, that stranger’s smile And put it over your own Wishing you could tape it down so it would stay forever You would stare at the woman in the mirror and think ‘this is who you are’ And wished it could be true over the year
