Part of knowing love’s to know
That no one person can be everything:
No man or woman truly loves
Who leaves a rose to die from lack of light
Or soil, or even the water of shared grief —
In a universe so vast that we can only
Truly have a known place by
Where we are in relation to others
The inter-connectedness of friends
Is the often forgotten
Part of knowing love
on a similar note –
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
So true.
