COME, LET US AGREE, by                    
First Line: We quarreled last night / know the reason why?
Last Line: And to let you be you.
Subject(s): Generosity; Quarrels; Arguments; Disagreements


We quarreled last night.
Know the reason why?
Because you are you,
And because I am I.

If you could be I,
You might perhaps see
That I am as I
Was intended to be.

If I could be you,
Some things I might see
Of the cause of the "Is"
And the why of the "Be."

Two-thirds of your world
Is to half of mine hid.
My price on your life
Is, perhaps, a blind bid.

Two-thirds of my world
Is to half of yours hid,
Which makes your conclusion
Another blind bid.

So, let us be large,
Enough generous, too,
To let me be me
And to let you be you.
