My Other Me

My Other Me 

My other me lives in another land

just the other side of the sea.

She enjoys a quiet and peaceful life

relaxed, happy and free.

My other me has not to live her life

by another's schedule or a clock.

She can leisurely take her time

and go cycling or for a walk.

My other me understands "Quality over Quantity"

as more than just a phrase.

She embraces every second

of those few and precious days.

My other me knows a love

that can outlast the passing of time.

She feels that a life without him

is a cruel and tragic crime.

My other me is not just a person

that I occasionally like to see.

She is the persona of what my heart

desires to someday be.
