love story (think good thoughts on Friday 13th)

Love one another,
but make not a bond of love
Let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls.

Sing and dance together and be joyous,
but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts,
but not into each other's keeping;
For only the hand of Life
can contain your hearts.

And stand together
yet not too near together;
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress
grow not in each other's shadow.

~Khalil Gibran
