Parting from you will not be a simple separation…

When you combine two pieces of dough and then split them again, how can you tell which part belonged where?

When you glue two sheets of paper together and rip them apart, pieces from each will remain on the other

When you mix soil from one plant with that of another and then replant each one, there will always be overlap

When two pools of water merge and then flow away again, droplets from one will be present in the other

Now that “you” and “I” have become “us”, how will we separate into two again?

Hearts so connected that it feels like we share an aorta, brains in tune as if we have mastered telepathy, bodies joined and souls intertwined

Distance can tear us apart

but part of you will still be me
