Mini You Poem by Robert Charles Howard

It's been something of a while
since I tumbled down
out of the warmth and darkness
into this bright uncertain space.

I see you coming toward me
and the strangest parts of me
start darting about in every direction
because I remember you.

Every time you come
something glad happens:
you hold me to your warmth,
you bring good food to my mouth
to ease the ache inside.
You make pretty sounds
that tell me I am safe -
that tell me I am not alone.

For reasons I cannot say
I know that I am you -
that you are me.

The beauty on your face
tells me you know it too
and like you, I smile.
