What does it mean to know someone?

To carry their thoughts with you

To hold their memories

As your own

 

To watch the world

Rearrange itself

And realize all you’ve been missing

This whole time

 

To fight the fight

Not for one

But with one

Watching their back

And forgetting your own

No longer caring

If you go down first

 

To know someone

Is to sometimes confuse

Where they end

And where you begin

There is beauty in this unity

But also, so much fear

 

To feel them inside you

A presence

There, undeniably

Part of your existence now

Part of how you see

Yourself

 

To know someone

And to love them

Still

Is the hardest

And easiest

Part of being human
