this place that i am
inside now
seems familiar
i don't know it
but it feels like home
i've gotten a few inches
shorter
wearing a while translucent
dress
a gasp escapes my mouth
when i look at the me

as when i used to see beauty
in a rose
i look beside me
a couple of meters away
stands the twelve year old girl
she's just like a younger twin
of me
mom, i whisper
