Two Halves

When you add two halves together, what do you get?

Some call it ‘Affection’.

Some call it ‘Chemistry’.

Perhaps they even will say

“That’s Love.”

But we could list words all day,

And not a single one could truly capture

The pure and beautiful emotion you evoke in me.

Every feeling of mine is magnified with you.

You tend to my flame of joy

Until it burns with absolute bliss.

A waterfall of tears bursts from behind a dam

Of pent up emotion that I have held for so long.

These feelings that I’ve kept locked inside

May now come out and experience the world;

A place where they may find others like them.

My delight to your glee.

My grief to your sorrow.

They are two halves to one whole.

When we put them together,

Only then do we learn what it means

To be truly

Alive.
