There is emotion in the hug, and there is respect and a form of love. Emotion that comes from honesty, respect that comes from challenge, and the form of love that exists between people whose minds have touched, whose hearts have touched, whose souls have touched. Our minds touched. Our hearts touched. Our souls touched. We separate. James Frey
About This Quote

The line above is a poem by another poet, Robert Frost. Throughout his life, Frost had suffered from depression. While taking a walk one day, he came across a pair of birds who appeared to have come together to mate. Frost was so moved by the scene that he went home and wrote the poem "The Road Not Taken" about finding love in even the most mundane of moments.

This poem is about how people separate from one another because their hearts are not yet touched. They are still looking for that perfect soul mate that exists only in the novels they read. The only way for this soul mate to exist is for them to spend time with another person and make them feel safe, loved, and respected.
