I Am Not I by Juan Ramon Jimenez

I am not I
	I am this one
walking beside me whom I do not see, 
whom at times I manage to visit, 
and whom at other times I forget; 
the one who remains silent while I talk, 
the one who forgives, sweet, while I hate, 
the one who takes a walk while I am indoors, 
the one who will remain standing when I die.
