i never would have understood this poem had i not met this person who "turns people into eachs/ and cowards into grow". his very nature pulls (demands) the honesty, uniqueness, and individuality out of people who typically may not give themselves openly and brings courage to people who normally wouldn't have it. "our can'ts were born to happen" is my favorite line; we both have this insane tenacity to prove everyone wrong about ourselves, especially to ourselves. "Our mosts have died in more", we both seek to exceed our own expectations (and seem to do so everyday when we're in each other's sight). Its truly a phenomenon to meet someone who does so much in my life! "night cannot be so sky/ sky cannot be so sunful" - somewhere along the way i am looking for him to disappoint me, but he hasn't (yet?). But my own greatness is made tangible through him; it didn't seem as real before he was around ("i am through you so i").
