Bits of me

Have long been living bits of you
In someone else

Still shudder,
Every time they want
Those bits of me.

Scattered bits ;
Like night sky stars,
Distant, close ... illusively.

Fragments here
And fragments then
Learnt to live in light and shade,
conformingly.

Passing cars,
On evening streets,
A radio song,
Some silences -
Make me look the other way.

Have long been living bits of you
In some life else

I still recoil...
Each time life asks for
All of me.
