I awoke this morning to realize I was two
and one
I was standing beside myself
hand in hand with myself
and in love with myself
looking both ways
at the extended us that we are

My self loathing had been handed
to my other self
who is you, and us, and me
and that other self took my loathing
and loved it
and made it holy
and gave it back to me as kisses
and raindrops
and rainbows
and joy
and certainty
and I came to love myself
and finally KNOW who I am
