Yes.. sometimes we lose ourselves in another but it’s in that moment that we recognize we’ve lost some of our identity that we can begin to reclaim it.

Welcome back my dear Jen!

I hope you are well; this is so beautiful my friend; sometimes when we lose something of ourselves we can gain something too; many blessings and thanks always

I've missed you, Mermaid. Welcome back.

These days I think I see myself fairly clearly, but there were times - years - when other people defined me. What's mirrored in someone else's eyes is often backward.

I don't let anyone too close anymore. Been burnt one time too many. But then, you never know, if the right person comes along?

Like Gandhi said something to this effect:

Let all winds blow, but don't get swept off your feet

BEautifully said Jen... Its very true that when we lose ourselves in another's eyes sometimes we do so literally.  Its not easy to retain our elf when we melt into love...  Great poem!
