illusionist

   she wore a mask

 to pretend to be

 all the things I wanted

...then took it off

 and was none of those things

....not one...

.and it was over.

...then she left

.'cause the grand canyon is a long ways to walk to pass someone and not say hi....

How did she know everything you wanted ....... She must have been your other half

She can read your mind

Simple but still thoughtful! Well done :)
This sort of things happens all the time. I'll admit i've wore masks for short times. I think while you are trying to "find yourself"the process is easier if you experiment with different personas.
But to secretly wrap someone up in a false identity is just cruel.

to wear one to protect yourself is understandable....to use it to deceive another is not...

I agree. the sad thing is most people don't realize they're doing it. Then it starts to fade and the hurt comes.
