Text inside Museum of Chance (Vikram Seth Text 1)

Mistaken: "I smiled at you because I thought that you/Were someone else; you smiled back; and there grew/Between two strangers in a library/Something that seemed like love; but you loved me/(If that's the word) because you thought that I/Was other than I was. And by and by/We found we'd been mistaken all the while/From that first glance, that first mistaken smile." - Vikram Seth
