A Perfect Fit
by Antonio Rocco S. (Rocco Valentini)
Love demands an almost Vitruvian symmetry Not in wealth or body but in character and mind. Two unkempt souls have too much asymmetry Their jagged edges touch but cannot bind. There must be no separation or dichotomy Between who you are and who you long to be with, For virtue is the currency in love’s economy, And spiritual hypergamy does not exist. Love is not blind; it has 20/20 vision In your lover’s eyes your soul must meet. A giant can only step into another giant's shoes Because of the size of their feet. Love is biconditional not unconditional It asks "What do I want?" and "What must I give?" Though these questions may seem oppositional Both must be asked for a relationship to live. Finding love is like buying a suit off the rack No suit fits without needing to be tailored. Love is not an effortless but a labored act And those who are passive will experience failure. No relationship is perfect from the start; There is no such thing as a bespoke romance. Excess fabric must be cut from two hearts For two lovers' souls to engage in their dance.
