Multiple requests

I come a'begging. I am desperately searching for the full text of Philip Larkin's "Unfinished Poem". If anyone has it I would be immensely grateful.

The reason I am searching is my new love found a snippet of it and would like to read it, which leads to my second request. I know love poetry is ubiquitous and trite, but I have been madly looking for a poem which would describe the love of two people who have found their counterparts, their soulmate, someone who shares their ideas and thoughts and passions and which expresses the idea of at last finding the right person, of coming home, of belonging. Especially if a love of words/books are involved. I do not come empty handed, in return I offer this short but sweet piece:

A Pity. We Were Such a Good Invention
by Yehuda Amichai, 1981

They amputated
Your thighs off my hips.
As far as I'm concerned
They are all surgeons. All of them.

They dismantled us
Each from the other.
As far as I'm concerned
They are all engineers. All of them.

A pity. We were such a good
And loving invention.
An aeroplane made from a man and wife.
Wings and everything.
We hovered a little above the earth.

We even flew a little.
