You are me, I'm you

The first time we met, it didn't seem like the beginning
you seemed familiar, it felt like I had known you earlier.
I couldn't understand then that how much
you are me and I'm you.

When we talked you would say what I wanted to say
I would also hear what you wouldn't say
I never understood that how without a word being said
you understood what I said.

Even when you were not close I felt your presence
like you were my shadow and more you were around even in the dark
Now when I look at myself in the mirror I see the reason why
you are in me and I'm in you.

Yet somehow the closer I come the more you seem to blur
perhaps because the smallest shadow is cast when the day is at it's brightest
The more I want to tell you of how we are connected the more words fail me
yet in all the words that were not said a lot was meant.

The harder I try to run away from you, the closer you seem
how can I run away from myself I keep asking
yet all those dreams that once lightened up my eyes are shattered
now when I dream they only burn my eyes.

How have I lost a target so close
Who can I tell for I have failed
I couldn't get something that was so much mine
perhaps I didn't realise that it was always mine.
