Be Only Yourself Only I am myself as only you are yourself and one will never 'know' the other I would be but a fool to attempt to know your feelings... or to think your thoughts as you would be to attempt inheritance of mine To believe we could ever hope to alter each other would be just as foolish... and even more futile If we should be compatible... the outcome can be but happiness in each other where to be incompatible... would never in reality hope to touch that point Let us never 'hate' for disliking the choices or pleasures of the other Rather... let us walk separate paths and be grateful to have held each other and feel only love and respect for each individual that is happy being who he is If mutual happiness be the inevitable outcome... let us abound in that happiness together while living with, and enjoying, the individuality therein Above all... be only yourself... as I will be only myself and in that way alone shall we truly find happiness Be it together or separate from one another should matter not For is it not for this happiness that life itself is the beauty that it is R.M.Baird 7/76 Copyright © 1998 Mirage-Net...
