Complete

I just love it

In the movie “Jerry Maguire”

When the deaf couple

In the elevator sign to each other

Then kiss passionately

And Tom Cruise’s character

Asks Renée Zellweger’s character

What they said.

“You complete me.”

She translates. 

Which clearly

Their characters did for each other

Though they couldn’t see it.

“You complete me.”

It was so romantic,

And I thought that’s what I want.

And I thought that’s what I had

With you.

But as I get older, I find that

I don’t really want to complete you…

And I don’t want you to complete me.

I want to roll with you,

Myself, fully complete

Alongside you, not needing me to complete you,

But fully complete in your own right.

That’s what’s really romantic.

You’re complete

I’m complete

We are complete

Together.
