I was raw,but now I'm cooked.

I was raw,but now I'm cooked !
A lover goes to the door of the adored. She knocks at the door
and when the dearly beloved asked: "Who's there?"
"It is me."
"Go away."
She goes away and stays a long time,but then comes back.
She knocks at the door again.
"Who's there ?" and she says,
"It is you."
"COME IN."
