A Part of You, A Part of Me
Dawn Leonard,©1985
Every moment that we are together, I am learning something, and that
knowledge becomes a permanent part of me. Though my feelings will be
different a year from now, or ten years from now, part of the
difference is you.
Because of you, I am a different person, and the person I will grow
to become, with or without you by my side, will have gotten there
partly because of you. If you were not in my life right now, I could
not be who I am right now. Nor would I be growing in exactly the same
way.
Much of what I grow toward, and change within myself, has to do with
what I respond to in you, what I learn from you, and what I learn about
my feelings in the dynamics of our relationship. I do not worry about
our "future together", since we have already touched each other and
affected each other's lives on so many levels that we can never be
totally removed from each other's thoughts.
A part of me will always be you, and a part of you will always be me.
That much is certain, no matter what else happens.
