What is the meaning behind this poem by ee cummings?

it is so long since my heart has been with yours
it is so long since my heart has been with yours

shut by our mingling arms through
a darkness where new lights begin and
increase,
since your mind has walked into
my kiss as a stranger
into the streets and colours of a town--

that i have perhaps forgotten
how,always(from
these hurrying crudities
of blood and flesh)Love
coins His most gradual gesture,

and whittles life to eternity

--after which our separating selves become museums
filled with skilfully stuffed memories

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

poem is a form of art
you are suppose to interpret it in your own way and unless he wrote something that said what the poem meant to him you can never really know what it was suppose to mean just take it apart piece by piece and figure out what you think it means, how it makes you feel
