raze
in
her
own
way
,
she
was
me
back
then
.
i
never
knew
.
maybe
that
was
what
drew
us
to
each
other
.
maybe
we
could
each
without
knowing
sense
in
the
other
some
dark
unseen
not
-talked-about
thing
.
i
still
have
the
note
she
wrote
me
in
the
middle
of
math
class
in
grade
eight
.
i'd
like
to
say
i
wrote
one
back
,
folded
it
into
a
paper
airplane
,
and
sailed
it
over
to
her
.
but
paper
airplanes
were
always
beyond
the
scope
my
folding
skills.
