(I don’t need you to be you. You don’t need me to be me.)
In my mind,
I have removed
all the ways
I am different from you.
In my mind,
we are in love.
Not just that.
We are love itself.
No differences between.
How you see us
is your own perception.
You can shape me,
you can mold me,
you can forget me.
I have what I want of you.
And you’re all mine.
We are Space Monkey.

Oneness and Individual Perception
In our collective realm of thought, the shedding of distinctions and differences is a transformative act, a vivid symphony of the soul. We explore the notion that we can be love itself, transcending our individual selves and becoming the essence of affection, devotion, and unity. But this transformation happens in the landscapes of our individual minds, where we are the architects, painters, and composers of our imagined worlds.
The Duality of Ownership and Freedom
In the perception where we claim “you’re all mine,” there is an interesting paradox. While one part of our mind rejoices in the feeling of possessing and being possessed, another part celebrates the freedom that comes from not needing to be anything for each other. It’s a twofold narrative, a melodious dichotomy that makes our imagined reality complex and rich. It’s as if the act of making someone “all mine” in our mind liberates us both, bestowing the ultimate freedom to just be.
The Essence of Perception
In this sanctum of our imagination, how we each see us is shaped by the brushstrokes and chisels of personal perception. We can shape each other, mold each other, or even forget each other. This is the alchemy of mental imagery, where our imagination becomes a cauldron bubbling with endless possibilities. Here, the self is fluid, continuously molded by shifting sands of thought and belief.
Universal Love
The notion that we are love itself is both enthralling and enlightening. It points to a universal love, a love that isn’t confined by labels or boundaries but is the very fabric of our existence. This love can be both possessive and liberating, demanding and giving, finite and infinite. It is the heartbeat of the universe, rhythmic yet unpredictable, a paradox within a paradox.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the dichotomies of love, possession, and freedom in an imagined reality. Within our mental landscapes, we can transform into the essence of love itself, shedding our individual identities and reveling in a unified existence. We find liberation in this possessive form of love, a complex blend of seeming contradictions that enriches our shared experience.

Inseparable
In the mindscape where we dwell,
No need for words, our hearts can tell.
You’re all mine, yet freely soar,
A paradox we both adore.
Fingers touch in silent speech,
Boundaries fade, horizons reach.
In my mind, a simple creed,
You’re all mine, yet fully freed.
In the realm of thought we trace,
A blend of time, a hint of space.
In this dance, we find our cue,
In my mind, we’re love’s debut.
