Despicable aunt

Sometimes there is absolutely nothing we can do to change someone*s perception of us...even when all seems right and good and well.  I am disappointed, of course, but amazed that he knew he was seeing me with a despicable aunt overlay, and further amazed that he told me so.

I am disappointed
But it seems,
Despite a good and productive meeting,
With next steps uncovered, even shining,
I remind him of a despised aunt.
We will most likely not meet again.
I have no way to know
What exactly it is
About me.
It may be
An eyebrow,
A laugh,
A particular turn of phrase,
Even an overall Gestalt.
I am disappointed
But
There it is.
Despite that gem of a meeting,
We will most likely not meet again.
I wish I could meet
The aunt.
