YOU, MY LOVE

By hiding myself,
I save myself,
I closed my doors
to keep the world outside.
and then I met you.
I tried to keep my heart under wraps,
protected from the world
the wind, the rain,
But I am not waterproof to you.
The ultimate solvent
you sink in where all others
simply run off.
You have permeated my exterior,
you have found your way into
every cell of my body.
You have now become part of me
Mitosis will divide you, multiply you
inside me
you and me as one
How can I forget what is inherently me?
