the moon is bright in my eyes,
and the sun shines in yours.
we attract, we repel, orbiting each other
and our shadows overlap.
forces of the universe knit us together
until there is but one mass of darkness.
Please give a detailed explanation about the meaning and main idea of this poem.
This poem is about deep relationships and their impact on the lives of the parties involved. The most beautiful relationships make you feel like you share a heart with someone else - finishing each other's sentences, just understanding what the other is going through. The boundaries are always changing, but there is always a sense of control.
