Yes, there is just one "I" (the narrator), one "He" and one "Other" and one "She". "We" are "I" and "He" together, and these two especially are the main question whose answer I want you to find (though as I said, I would like to hear all - it's not hard at all once you know who "I" and "He" are).
(Reposting so that we have it on the same page and don't need to look far back.)
I'm just the second on His mind
He thought of Other more than of me
I'm just the second on His mind
Although for me He meant more than She
Me and Him, so alike We
Touch the same iron, touch the same stone
We never speak, We never meet
What tells you who We are? Our hands alone.
