I Do Not Have To Be......

i do not have to close my eyes
to listen fully

i do not have to shed tears to understand
what is goodbye and
attachment all about

i do not have to burn myself in the fires of the sun
to understand how far is it from my earth

i do not have to be you to understand you
i have enough of me
and then
i have fully understood what is this all about.
