What is it you're saying

What is it you're saying
that anyone
who looks like you
attracts me

and I say
why not

but you say
she can't be like me

She may look like me
but her mind
is not my mind
her laughter
is not my laughter
her fevers
not my fevers
and more

Of course
you are right

look like
is not
like the real thing
and only you
have that
which no one else has
and that is You
