It's so dark right now, I can't see any light around me.
That's because the light is coming from you. You can't see it but everyone else can.

You were you,
and I was I;
we were two
before our time.
I was yours
before I knew,
and you have always 
been mine too.

Soul Mates
I don’t know how you are so familiar to me—or why it feels less like I am getting to know you and more as though I am remembering who you are. How every smile, every whisper brings me closer to the impossible conclusion that I have known you before, I have loved you before—in another time, a different place, some other existence.

Before I fell
in love with words,
with setting skies 
and singing birds -
it was you I fell

Souls
When two souls fall in love, there is nothing else but the
yearning to be close to the other. The presence that is felt
through a hand held, a voice heard, or a smile seen.

Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand
the notion of time or distance. They only know it feels right to
be with one another.

This is the reason why you miss someone so much when they
are not there— even if they are only in the very next room.
Your soul only feels their absence— it doesn’t realize the
separation is temporary.
