Completion

There is no Me without You: a love poem about two souls becoming one

By Dr. George Shannon FergusonPublished 4 years ago • Updated about 24 hours ago • 1 min read
Two halves of one circle, and a heart that only shines fully when they meet.

Completion, by definition, is a concluding action.

The moment I met you, there was a soul attraction;

When my eyes see you, I can feel my heart's reaction.

The way you make me smile is only a fraction,

Only a fraction of the love I hold for you as a whole.

No, the love I have for you is the completion of my soul.

You’re the most magnificent sight my eyes will ever behold;

The day you become my wife will be the greatest story ever told.

A ring has no beginning and no end, which is exactly the point.

Being alive and living differ by many degrees:

Being alive is me without you; living is you with me.

You make me an artist, because I want to paint your smile daily.

Since you came into my life, you have shaped it greatly.

You unlocked my heart's account without knowing the password,

And deposited an amount of love that is simply absurd.

You speak a language to my heart that it has never heard;

You gave me the definition of happiness in only one word.

They start as two separate lights, one gold and one rose, and end as a single heart.

That word defines and combines our souls into one completion.

As our story keeps writing, the words I and ME are in deletion.

There is only WE and US; the rest of the world fades to depletion.

I am alive, but with you I am living for a deeper purpose and reason.

You are the fifth and final chamber of my heart: the completion.
