We were birds of a feather,
Brought up in a different tree,
Never meant to venture any further,
But we still met on my secret run in free.

Was it coincidence of fate,
I would never want to know.
When our eyes met at the quitude gate,
A fierce bond of amity brightly glow.

Like any other, I came with my flaws,
But conquered shame and sharpened my claws.
I remember that gift you gave me that day,
A dress good enough to keep my insecurities hidden away.

It still remains in my cupboard, Preciously folded on,
for not just my blemishes, but some lingering feeling too it won.
