Incompleteness in absence

Published by

on

Today, I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists….

When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves.

We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost.

That is what I imagine love to be:

Incompleteness in absence.

        I am being optimistic…
        I am trying my level best…
        But I won’t write at all the 1st volume again… I will try to lose 2nd one instead…

        Absolutely different perspective then, right?
        I’d be happy if I didn’t loose the first one instead.

    Such highly classified words Mr. Edmund had written back in his gone time. Well, i believe, only classic writers better knew & understood the virtue of real love… even the fragrance of love was found in someone’s beauty of soul not in the glamor of fair & fine body. He must have been a very deep thinker in his era. I “have to” check out some of his work ASAP. Thanks to you for sharing a loaf of his historic work here around… on ur page. Enjoyed reading it. And yes, i utterly agree with what he said. We’re all incomplete until we’re found by love.

    Whenever I read these classics, they give me different perspective of being complete.. its sometimes finding completeness with someone or sometimes with onself.. As they say – its all in our heart and soul.. and in the state of mind that I’m at present; right now! lovely reading..🌼
