The You & The Me in The Know in The Now



I could message you,
but I believe I prefer talking to you in my head instead.

You, out there, somewhere, doing you.
I know where you are.
You know I know
and we both know I'm not there.

I don't think I love you anymore.
I don't know for sure.
The you I've built
and the person you are
are not the same person after all.

The me I think I am
and the me I was before
cannot make amends.
We're at war,
and the only similarity between us
is that you're in both of our heads.
