ONLY YOU
Only you will ever know the real you.
Everyone else sees a version of you;
a version created in their mind,
through their filters
and using their own experiences
and judgements
to mould you from.
You may think they see
what you know about yourself
but they don’t.
Every one you have ever met,
holds a version of you in their memory.
And none of them are real.
It is a special moment
when this truth sinks in
because you realise, at last,
that you have a very unique thing
going on,
with yourself.
So many versions of you exist,
in very many places
but you alone will ever know
the real one.
Now if that is not a relationship
worth treasuring,
what is?
