can we be
ourselves together,
overlap
without eclipse.
compliment
but not erase,
allow some
pieces fit.
breathing room
yet boundaries.
I am like you,
but not you.

I often blend oils and water and seasonning for cooking with.
Seems when things get hot, they get delicious with the mix.
.. it is all about compromise and mutual respect.... well, as far as I can figure...

My biggest fear in being in another relationship someday... losing myself again. Like I did in my marriage.
Well, now you can't lose yourself. You hadn't found yourself the first time. mostly takes awhile to find for any of us.
And as boneman said, it makes a good mix if done right. With the proper seasoning.
I never thought of it that way, Larry. Point taken.
As far as the seasoning... well, this half-Hungarian gal just loooooves seasoning :)
Of all the wonderful things you have written and posted here, this one speaks to me most. If only everyone believed and behaved in a way that used their similarities for strength while allowing for their differences... But, that is a dreamer's thought and wish...
Winston, I am a wishful dreamer...
Very glad you like it so much.
It strikes me that this is true of a parent/child relationship as well. Often parents think children are them, or versions of them, but they are not.
Sparrow - I agree. None of us are clones... nor, should we be.
Oil and water-emulsion when mixed appropriately. Good or bad. Intriguing poem.
Kim - life is so intriguing, no? :)
Mick - exactly!

For a very long time, I had this real fear of repeating the same error I did in my first marriage long ago - that complete losing of self. Worse yet, losing myself into a person completely unworthy of it. (Not that anyone could ever be *worthy* of that destructive control of another.)
I was 18 years old when I first married, and divorced at 22.
When I was around 40 years old my therapist said, --Just because you made that mistake before doesn't mean you will again. Do you really think you'd repeat it now? If you could turn back time, would you repeat that error, knowing what you know now?
My answer, of course: --Hell no!
She said, --Neither would I.
:-O !!!
--You mean *YOU* did that really dumb thing, first time around?
--Sure.
That was one of the most comforting therapy sessions of my life.
