Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
今天,我开始明白爱是什么,如果它存在……当我们分开的时候,我们都感到缺少了另一半。我们不完整,就像一本丢了第一卷的两卷书。这就是我想象中的爱:不在时的不完整。
