Member-only story
i am you
so i could never oppress
or dishonor you
i can only
see you
hear you
honor you
be honest with you
love you
sit with you
try to understand you
give grace to you
apologize to you
hold out hope for you
learn from you
and
give space
to you
because i want this too
so i won’t forget
that i can’t separate from you
because i don’t want to
separate from myself
and the love
that already binds us
even when it is hard
i never want
to miss the simple joy
of when i say
“oh wow
i do that too
oh wow
you are just
like me”
so i will keep my
eyes open
holding true
to what we know can be
where we never let
anything blind
our vision
of the me
that is
in you
and
the you
that is
in me
