Two Selves

two very old selves lived in an very old house
and on one day self one turned to self two and said
“I love you”
self two didn’t even nod its head
“did you hear me? self one then said 
“what?” asked self two now seeing self one
“I said did you hear me”
“what my dear”
I said “did you hear me” 
said self one now hopping up and down and pulling its hair
“I can’t hear you dear you shall have to speak up” said self two 
and then self one grabbed self two and speaking right into self two’s ear said
 “I love you”
“Oh that’s nice” said self two 
“I love you too”
