Me
I know me
better than anyone
I have studied me
for years
I have dissected me
I have analyzed me
I have graphed me
on broad, white sheets
of paper
I have observed me
I have followed me
I have pinned me up
on the wall
as art
On occasion
I have ignored me
and at times
I have even understood me
But until you
until knowing you
I have never wholly been me
And now
in this rare moment
I feel me
most acutely
and discover that
I really am me
and that we
are one
