Do not love half lover

 Do not love half lovers

Do not entertain half friends

Do not live half a life

and do not die a half death


If you choose silence, then be silent

When you speak, do so until you are finished

Do not silence yourself to say something

And do not speak to be silent


If you accept, then express it bluntly

Do not mask it

If you refuse then be clear about it

for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance


Do not accept half a solution

Do not believe half truths

Do not dream half a dream

Do not fantasize about half hopes


Half the way will get you no where

Half an idea will bear you no results


Half a life is a life you didn't live,

A word you have not said

A smile you postponed

A love you have not had

A friendship you did not know


The half is a mere moment of inability

but you are able for you are not half a being

You are a whole that exists to live a life

not half a life.


Khalil Gibran
