I like myself, as a stranger

...For weeks she'd been getting anonymous letters with black and white photographs showing her. Standing by a phone box, crossing a street ,flicking through a book in a antique shop.
To see what I look like to others.
In one of the photographs she is sitting in a pub garden, in conversation with an aquaintance. Laughing with lively hand gestures.
I like myself, as a stranger........
