the man asked the girl on the floor.

I'm the little girl you used to be,

the little girl asked

as the tears welled up in her eyes.

I didn't think that you'd mind, he said

at the one he had grown to despise.
 
 
Don't leave me I pled as you walked away

leaving me here in the dark.

I've become quite a person myself,

you see; finally leaving my mark.
 
 
I'm sorry he said if I left you alone

I oh so wished to remain.

But with no one to listen to me but you

I felt no one would hear me again.
 
 
I made the mistake of leaving you here

I believed what is false; not what's true.

That somehow you came and were quite something else

convinced that I was me and not you.
 
 
You left me before I could tell you my story;

and why God had sent me to be.

a part of your life and a blessing to you;

He gave that task only to me.
 
 
I'm part of you, the little girl said

as she continued to sit on the floor.

He shook his head NO as he backed away slowly

looking to walk through the door.
 
 
They're not bad as you think..they merely don't know

what makes us so special it's true.

Without each other we cannot exist;

Because you are me and I'm you.
 
 
He picked her up sadly filled with guilt and with shame;

I forgive you she said, no more lies!

They walked hand in hand as they passed through the door,

Each seeing through the other one's eyes.
 
 
I am quite complete the little girl said

and the man could finally agree;

How could I have lived without you he said

When I 've always been you and you me.
 
 
So it's all so simple and yet all so involved

depending so much on one's view.

I may not know quite what to expect, he said...
