The better me; the soul; the shadow. Not clear what's being alluded to except that sense of other as we dissociate in the everyday. My favourite word is the 'sweet', which is ambiguous but connects by changing pace and tone to the reader, lover, or child. 'This one' is also nice, giving a pointedness, visibility and immediacy to the idea of permanence. Maybe you could have worked that harder?
