13. Love's Proof -

This is love's proof:
That it is more wonderful to be together, than to be parted:
That distance does not touch each other with a glamour
Half so beautiful as the witchery of nearness:
That the hours together go all too soon, too soon:
That morning trips on the heels of evening, and the dark is juggled with the light:
That we never have time enough to say all the things that we must say:
That parting makes us aware of hunger and desire:
That the thousandth touch of lips has the fine intoxication of the first:
That we could watch each other forever in increasing astonishment of wide-eyed wonder:
That a faint music enspheres us and is never silent:
That we seem to dwell in the timeless and the world is an interruption:
That each seems so beyond the other, burning like a star of mystery,
The approach toward the other is toward something elusive and receding,
Something ever higher and further, remote, unattainable,
Needing a lifetime of seeking.
