Best of {Me} Mates

to be what one is

without
                            Apology

is a beautiful thing.


to be what one is

to be
         with    Another

and not
           without     Self

is lovely.


Oh, to have learned
and understood this
long ago


But some things can only be learned

                                              and not
                                                            Taught.


When you find someone who understand this

who understands
                             You

Hold on to them.
Do not allow yourself to let them slip from your heart
                                                                                  or mind.

for when someone is as much their pure self
                                                        around you
                                                        as you are
                                                       around them

you may, my dear
        you just may
                              have found

                              what some call
 
                                                          Soul Mate.


{and these are the best of mates}
