Toi

C’est le moi que je vois en toi qui m’attire.
C’est le toi que tu vois en moi qui t’attire
Au début quand on s’aime,
On se voit soi-même
Et se soi devient
Peu à peu le même.
(written March 30, 1965, Brentwood School, Essex)
Translation
You
It’s the me that I see in you that attracts me.
It’s the you that you see in me that attracts you.
In the beginning, when you are falling in love
you see yourself,
and the self that you each see little by little
becomes the same.
