A Poem of Longing and Unity

From Rumi:

A little mixed-breed apple,
half red, half yellow, tells this story.
 
A lover and beloved get separated.
Their being apart was one thing,
but they have opposite responses.
 
The lover feels pain and grows pale.
The beloved flushes and feels proud.
 
I am a thorn next to my master's rose.
We seem to be two, but we are not.
