Union of Expectations

Don’t you know that you are one?
Just like the two sides of a coin, 
You need each other to be complete, 
And you shall walk together, 
For you are forged to be one.

You surely are a union of expectations,
Romantic expectations to say the least,
To love unconditionally and be loved back,
To have a symphony of intimacy,
A Hollywood of romantic narrations.

You are a bank of expectations,
Financial expectations are embedded in your DNA,
For your spending habits shall come to question,
And your savings goals merge objectively,
Management of money ought to be paramount.

You are a honeymoon of expectations,
Ranging from date nights to celebrations,
Shall your anniversary or birthday have priority?
Will both sides prefer mountain to tropical beach?
Will you always celebrate Valentine’s Day?

Don’t you know that you are one?
Just like the two sides of a coin,
Each of you with a different part to play,
For a coin with one plain side,
Lacks monetary value.

I like this idea … hearkens back to Adam, a hermaphrodite originally, from whom Eve was taken … In that sense, we are all wandering around incomplete, until we find our other half, the most important search we'll ever make. ~ Gershon

Yes Gershon. It all started from the creation of mankind. Every man embarks on the most important search of the missing rib. Thank you.
