" you're naive and not yet ready just like an uncooked meal! you declare yourself as 'me' and still proclaim your undying love for me? A lover who only sees himself is no lover at all but needs to roast in the fire fo separation until he's properly cooked!"

"Who knocking at this hour?" ask the lady impatiently.
"No one! The one on this side of the door is also you!" expressed the man humbly.
"Now that you've stop seeing only yourself you've become me at last!
