"Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to airy thinness beat."
No matter what, everyone must die. Here, the speaker is about to pass away, and he is telling his friends, family, and lover not to mourn his death. The theme that they will be reunited repeats throughout. He continually mentions the soul, and how their souls will one day be together again. The beginning of the poem could be for anyone who knew him, but the last are definitely just for his love. I thought this part of the poem was especially melancholy and romantic. Even death cannot part them.
