Me We

Before I was me,

We were we.

Wrapped in the loving warmth

Of your womb,

I thrived.

When I became me,

I struggled.

Longing.

Questioning.

Aching.

When I was me,

I searched for we.

When I found we,

I was swallowed up by you.

Unknowingly lost,

I sat in silence

Until

One became two.

Rediscovering me

Being at peace with me

I found the strength to search again for we.
