Love Poem: My Missing Piece

My Missing Piece

Now that we have had the miracle 
Of finding each other on this incredible journey
Having seen how our embraces 
Flow and fit as if part of a master plan
We are one, complete and whole

To release our hold even for a moment 
To go out in the world alone
Contrasts with our intimate bond
Feeling as though a part of me is missing
A void that hungers to be filled only by you

We are far better together 
Greater than the sum of just two
Love’s overwhelming wonder and power 
Empower us to overcome worldly troubles
And find strength that neither of us had alone

You are my missing piece
The one that fills the emptiness in me, 
An emptiness so great of that I could not measure
Until it was filled by your grace and love
You and you alone make me whole
