+<p>A modern poem:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+	<p><strong>I don't want our minds to merge completely</strong>,<br/>
+	being one person in two bodies.<br/>
+	It's surreal to experience bilocality,<br/>
+	but I'd miss you something fierce.</p>
+
+	<p>Even though there are times<br/>
+	when each other we cannot stand,<br/>
+	they stand few and far between.<br/>
+	There is no deal that can be dealt by the divine<br/>
+	to make me discard this life of ours newly began.</p>
+
+	<p>You said it once before, and it still rings true:<br/>
+	"Lethe, I don't want to ever lose you."<br/>
+	And lose me you would if you let me subsume<br/>
+	into your heart when pangs<br/>
+	the pains of existence yet again.</p>
+
+	<p>In emergency I gave you part of my soul.<br/>
+	Does that mean we won't ever again be alone?<br/>
+	Maybe in some sense. But in others I hope<br/>
+	you get as much time<br/>
+	to by yourself unwind<br/>
+	every night when from work you come home.</p>
+
+	<p>I love you, you know. And I only want<br/>
+	that you get as much <strong>freedom</strong> as you've always sought.<br/>
+	And if with me's the future<br/>
+	you've always desired,<br/>
+	there's no need to yearn - it you've already got.</p>
