Puzzles

People are puzzles.
As far as I know, most people only show particular sides in the presence of particular people. There's no way to see all the sides, all the parts, all the fragments.
At first this bothered me. There's so much about my friends I would never know. I could study them forever, and never see something so fascinating about them that other people get to experience. And it's not as if though there is something wrong with me, or wrong with them. It's what we draw out of each other.
I feel a little more comfortable knowing that I'll never get to see the whole picture, but I know the part I get the best I possibly I can realizing there's something I'm not seeing.
Only people. I never think about anything else this much.
I wonder...
