maybe this is better than you always
being a part of me.
maybe this is better than that.
maybe it is better to learn to grow into you.
to allow you to grow me.
and maybe this is better than some sort of pain.
to come to you,
knowing me as mine
knowing me as existing always with myself:
always being a part of me, always being in my blood,
always being in my arms, in my eyes,
in my history, bloodied through the ages,
i come to myself.
i come from myself to you.
this is different, this i have not said before.
