219: You tell me/you don’t know me...

You tell me

you don’t know me

I don’t tell you about my past

I take giant steps away from my past

my past is not me

my past is what happened to me

my past is what helps shape me

we’ve been in a relationship

for a year

I am the me

you know

The me that has slept next to you

365 nights,

lived with you for one

time around the sun

If you say you don’t know me

I have to ask

          Where were you during the last year?
