I am not - Juan Ramón Jiménez

 

 

I am not I

I am this one 

walking beside me whom I do not see, 

whom at times I manage to visit, 

and whom at other times I forget; 

who remains calm and silent while I talk, 

and forgives, gently, when I hate, 

who walks where I am not, 

who will remain standing when I die.
