Author and source of haiku / poem
Sep 14 2009, 6:44 PM EDT | Post edited: Sep 14 2009, 6:44 PM EDT
Hello:
I'm trying to find the author and source for what I believe is a Japanese haiku. I only remember it in English translation, and am hoping someone can direct me in the right direction.

From what I remember the poetry goes like this:

I met a someone today for the first time,
Though I had slept beside this stranger
For 25 years.

Does anyone recognize this? And, if you do, can you give me an author name and title of the piece?

Thank you for any help you are able to give. Do you find this valuable?
