There is no absolute "you" or "me", but there is a relative you and me. In Buddhism this is the distinction between ultimate truth and the truth of "worldly convention".
Our identities only exist as ever changing streams of consciousness and memories, out of which we create an abstract self. There is nothing you can point at specificially and say "that is me," our identities are artificial constructs, and what delineates our identities is also artificial.
