Maybe someone here has seen me on the street.
Maybe someone actually does see me everyday on public transport, or walking around.
Maybe someone has answered me on the phone, or maybe I have answered theirs.
Maybe someone works with me here.
I could be anybody,
I could be the daughter of whoever lives next door to you,
I could be living on the other side of the country.
I could be white,
I could be black,
I could be yellow,
I could even be an actual girl of the Pacific. Who knows?
I could be a public figure, or a complete unknown.
I could be a striking beauty, I could be a real eyesore.
I could be your ex, I could be your former friend.
I could be in your life, I could have never been.
I could be in the newspaper for a good thing or in the obituaries in a couple days, and no one will ever know.
Who says I'm not just a fragment of your imagination, anyway?
I am just Hi'iaka, and I got a strange pearl inside that seashell...
