Love is

Love is

A Poem by Emily B
"

"love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost" Milan Kundera "The Unbearable Lightness of Being"

"

I read once

that a man and a woman

who love completely on earth

are bound to come together

in heaven as two halves of one angel.

 

It is heaven to think

that all the years we have missed

together on this earth

will somehow be repaid in the after life.

 

I loved you before I knew you.

I reached for you before I even knew your name.

One day we will be whole again.

well thats an interesting concept, ive never heard that before. you really put a delicate touch on these... if i look at it too hard it might fall apart. you may not like it, but i enjoyed it.

but then it's all about the reaching. The knowing but not knowing and courage to believe anyway.

It speaks well, changing it would make it something different. It's whole now.

Beautiful... though personally, in my own distinct belief, if one truly loves... they are already whole for the boundaries of time, dimension, and matter are beyond its realm.

I love where the quote took you, but O how painful a reminder of love and loss are those last three lines... One day we will be whole again.
