The understanding...!

Sometimes I don't understand you, she said. 

Good. It only means you have tried and failed.

I may never succeed?

When you try different paths yet keep failing with each, you would've eliminated so many wrong paths before ultimately hitting the right one. 

So, not understanding you isn't really a failure on my part?

Right.

What if time never permits us to complete our discovery? What if everything ends abruptly? What if one of us just dies instantly much before time?

That would complete the journey that we started together.

Is it only death that can help me succeed in understanding you? Is it true for you too?

As long as your understanding of my physical self is concerned, the answer is yes.

I'm talking about your inner soul.

There's neither death to it nor an end to understanding it.

I would never say I understand you completely?

Or, you could never stop your discovery.

I wonder how those couples say they understand each other so well that they exactly know what the other wants, thinks and behaves.

They might've just got tired of the discovery process and settled for something less.

That's like taking their credit away.

There's a world out there for us to travel, explore and learn. We might stop at the start line or halfway through and say we are done, or might just never stop.

Go on, I'm trying to understand you more.

So am I... And will always do.
