You Complete Me
“You complete me.”
We have this desire …to be complete. And what a wonder it might be to find this in another. We romance our partners with the promise of wholeness.
Why then does there linger an emptiness? My partner lacks the resource to fill my need. What now?
Now …love. You gave yourself to fill their lack.
Now give your partner your emptiness, your insufficiency, your imperfection …your lack.
Though it is refused, your gift is not denied. You are also held in their troublesome want. They did not complete you. They lacked the resource to fill your need …and their own. You have not found wholeness, but another through which you might have courage to confront your own lack.
In time, may you celebrate, “We are incomplete”.
“Love is giving something you don’t have to someone who doesn’t want it.”
