What is I


It took five to make us

I were here when i came to the world

I were here when the world taught me how to be

I were here when the world showed me what not to be 

I were here , always in silence , just listening 

I were aware of the times when he was happy,

I were aware of the times when he cried,

I became him when he wanted me to be 

He became Me when he wanted to 

I was here then, 

I was here now,

I died and was born again 

I never left, though he left I .
