Can I be myself with you?

 

Can I be myself whilst you be yourself?

Do you have to be yourself whilst I am with you being myself?

 

Do I have to become you, to be myself with you?

If I become you whilst being with you, am I still myself too?

 

Do I need you to become me, in order for me to be myself?

If you become me whilst being with me, are you still yourself too?

 

If you are no longer yourself,

Can I continue to be myself with you whilst you are being me?

 

I can not be myself by myself

 

If I can not be myself with you, you are as nothing to me.

If you can not be yourself with me, am I nothing to you?

 

Are we nothing to each other?

 

Am I still by myself when I am with you?
