Love one another but make not a bond of love...

Kahlil Gibran on love
 
Love one another but make not a bond of love: 
      Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. 

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
     Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. 

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. 
      For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. 

And now your ship has come, and you must needs go. 
      Deep is your longing for the land of your memories and the dwelling place of your greater desires; and our love would not bind you nor our needs hold you.
