“To love someone for so long is to die many deaths together…And live many lives together…”


I said I was “obsessively logical”

She said that is what she misses being

I said that she has an intuitive awareness

And an ability to see the whole in a glance

Which I had a lot to learn from

And when I remember this what she wrote

About some happening in a movie

“To love someone for so long

Is to die many deaths together…

And live many lives together…”

I realize I have a lot more to learn from her

But I’m glad to have her as a friend

Who always underestimates herself

Despite the above kind of wisdom

And to my surprise she always is surprised

When I point out her admirable insights

Or her admirable qualities,

She turns around and asks, “Tell me

Your reasons for so thinking”.
