I Think I AM...

I meant for there to be multiple ways to take this entire poem. Also - each and every stanza will, can, and does - stand alone ...just so you know. But I prefer to take this work - my way, which is every way it can be taken - and all of them all at once.

"I Think I AM..."

"You":

that are so unique
and special that
"He"
all but adores you -
in every way he can and could...

that"He" appreciates
- as you are -
in more ways than even you
will ever remember...

that share love
and not just sex
together
with heart and
soul and somehow -
somehow there is still more...

that shares life...
and it isn't just existence
or space
or breath
or anything less than
e v e r y t h i n g
you are!

"He":

that paused inside
the day"You" appeared
and couldn't remember the
HOW to breathe -
as you continued by.

that wandered so far and wide
crisscrossing each path and
twist and turn 'til it WAS
"You" he spied -
the silhouette that blinded the pale sun
that was hidden behind...

that heard the sound
that echoed the dreams
one holds inside
and justKNEWwithout a moment's
pause
the tastes of always -
just because...

that"You" shouldn't have seen
or ever noticed even being near
and yet you did, could, would
and then ...smiled..."You" smiled!

... ...

and to me - quite simply
I am"He" and you
are"You"

and to you - quite simply
you are"He" and I
am"You"

..and to us if ever we disagree
and need to remember which were we
well, that's what tears are for... you see -
as we both remember being ...just me.
