Twice I have met myself
dwelt in another body
Two times I have let them fade away from me
I have also met my opposite
in temperment and sex
She has moved away from me
but in my heart she’s near
They say devided between two good friends lies one soul
but are the two halves of this soul alike
or does what one half lacks dwell in the other body
When I met my kindred soul
I was delighted for awhile
but then the very sameness
somewhat devided us apart
for I already knew both them and their soul
because they are like me
But when I met my opposite
our soul more closely alighed
For though we are not alike
I suppose our soul missed that which it did not have
and delighted in finding a part of itself dwelling in another
Twice I have met myself
The “half” of me I already had
Once I have met my other half
And hope to never be torn
From the friendship which allows my soul to learn aspects I would otherwise have never known
