Where Do You and I Begin

I woke up one day and realized I no longer knew where you and I began and where you and I ended we had become almost one We talked in half sentences Knowing what the other wanted and knowing how it would end We ate the same foods with some resistance because I still crave an old fashioned American meal but still we were becoming more and more the same and I was scared of loosing myself In your embrace and becoming you and you becoming me and this fear of losing me in the ocean of us overwhelms me at time but I know that I will always Return to your arms because I cannot live A moment without you at my side and I know you are the same we feel each other's inner pain we feel each other's outer pain and our history has merged into one and is that the secret of a long marriage? Have I figured it all out in the end does it come to this? a merging of two souls and two bodies? I don't have the answers But I don't have any more doubts or regrets at the path I have taken I still look forward to waking up each Seeing you there and knowing that everyday we have together is a gift that I will cherish Until my dying breath
