No Recognition

I saw you today. And it was almost like looking at a person in which I recognized but couldn't place where I had seen you before. I knew who you were by face and name, but didn't know your soul. I never knew your inner most feelings or thoughts. Never knew the true authentic YOU. It was always guarded just as much as I guarded myself. How we stayed together for so long, I really haven't a clue. Fear of being alone maybe? Laziness?
I saw you. And I know you saw me. I was going to be adult-like and at least say, "hello!" but you chose not to see the real me.
