Never assume.

I do not want you to "get me."
 That would mean
 you have already decided
 who I am.

I love that
 you do not understand me.
 And I do not understand you.

We discovered each other—
 not through knowing,
 but through not knowing.

We understood
 because we did not
 assume.

Person 1:
 "You cannot possibly
 understand me—
 or what I have experienced."

Person 2:
 "You cannot possibly
 understand me—
 or what I have experienced."

And yet—

Together,
 we understand.
