Between Max Cady and a Raging Bull

it was your peculiar fascination with Robert De Niro that first intrigued me.
i believe You saw in him the character of a man the world once knew
strong
silent when appropriate
not to be completely trusted
it was the precarious situation that kept me in check
i believed i could be those things You needed
substance
restraint
mystery
it was your uncanny likeness to nobody else that first stirred me.
i believe You saw in me the character of a man the world has yet to meet
stalwart
tacit
impulsive
it was You and Robert De Niro in my mind, like an elusive dream on parade
i believe (in) You, and the world won't know what hit them
stay
quietly
in awe
