thinking of her (JCH -- 12/11/98)
i am not him and you are not her
though without them
neither of us would be here
neither one of us would be who we are now
the past put us here
don't let it go but don't live in it
don't dwell on it
don't allow it to shape the future
our possible future
the possibility of us
the blank page to create our masterpiece
there are no lines
nothing we should do
no one we should be
other than who we are now
the possibilities
endless
countless
no boundaries
no fate
no absolutes
just you and me and everything in between

through you i have found my courage
to move on
to fight the future
and put away the past
to become who i already am...
the man in the mirror
