Whole

Amelia Valente, Staff Writer

I don’t like to think that you are my other half

I was whole before I met you

A full human being.

One body so breathtaking 

That you wouldn’t be able to touch me without returning,

Fingertips encased in lustrous gold.

A mind so complex you couldn’t begin to understand

The intricate thoughts and knotted threads of conceptions

A soul so virtuous and beautiful

Like an aged vase rimmed with devotion and tenderness

Admiration and passion seeping through the small vein-like fractures

You would like to think you complete me.

But 

Am 

Whole

One mind, one body, one soul.
