| Plato asserts in his Symposium that initially all humans were whole, hermaphroditic beings with four hands, four legs, two identical faces on one head/neck, four ears, and both sets of genitals. When these beautiful, strong beings tried to overthrow the gods, Zeus split them into two—man and woman— and created the innate desire of human beings for one another to feel whole again. Since ancient Greece, the apple has been a symbol of love. The Celts believed that the apple represented love because it lasted so long after being picked. |

| "Our spring was wonderful, but summer is over now and we missed out on autumn. And now all of a sudden, it's cold, so cold that everything is freezing over. Our love fell asleep, and the snow took it by surprise. But if you fall asleep in the snow, you don't feel death coming. Out of love, I ache for who we were.
phantom limb (n.) - sensation of the presence of the limb that has been amputated
you,you,you are my phantom limb. there, but only in my head. most of the time, i'm fine. most of the time, i can accept that you are gone. but sometimes, i'll reach out like you're still here for me. i can still feel our fingers entwined. if i ever meet the surgeon who sawed off you from me - wait.
never mind." - ytz |
