“ as he knew it would be “
“ the first time I ever saw your face “
I knew when I heard this line in a song for the first time it was you, you were the face I thought of, the first image to emerge
from the depths of my very soul it was you.
I know that there are very few who believe in soulmates let alone the idea of having loved one another in times past.
What do they know, they have yet to accept the concept of his consciousness?
I know that I felt something this morning, something that compelled me to look as you passed.
I knew even in the instance it was you as time stopped for us
to reunite and know that which we had longed for was real.
And our journey to find another has another clue from which
we can once again be in each other’s arms.
For I cannot wait to hear your voice and listen to all that you
have been through since our last encounter.
And I have missed the many excursions we have known and shared in our countless duels in twisted sheets.
I believe more than any of the times we have shared it is coffee in the mornings as we watched the Sun rise.
And witnessed the embrace of light and darkness both morning and night.
I know that many do not believe that light emerged from darkness and it was love at first sight.
Just as he knew it would be.
