The Heart & Sole

If I am you

 

     and you

 

are me

 

 

Why can't

 

you see all the things that

 

     I see?

 

 

For surely if we were one

 

like you claim us to be

 

 

then my vision must too

 

    be the vision of you

 

 

So then what of this

 

clear miscommunication

 

 

Was the meaning simply lost

 

due to artless translation

 

 

It seems whatever the case

 

Now I know what is true

 

 

Darling, I am me

 

and lover you

 

           are you
