I look at you, and I feel a deep and endless admiration for you. From your perfectly trimmed beard and chest to your dark brown hair that falls effortlessly into place, it’s like a god spun you into existence to either bring me every joy or trap and destroy me.

The truth is, this is the often sought-after True Love, and it only ends one way. It will one day come to pass that our earthly bodies no longer function enough to go on, and we will leave each other smashed to a million pieces because we allowed ourselves to love with every fiber of our being.

That day will pass, and again, as has happened so many lifetimes before, you will be unrecognizable to me. You will have a new name, a new face, and a new body.. but when I find you again, I will know your vibe, energy, and spirit. Finding you again is the first true challenge of every one of my lifetimes because until I find you, my life doesn’t feel like the magical story we’ve lived time and time again.

I know you from millennia ago, yet I can feel you out there, the same as you’ve always been. My love, strength, and partner that all others are measured against and never level up to. So my eyes and heart are open, pulling you in like a magnet, trusting that you’ll know who I am when you see me.

Trusting that we’ll get yet another lifetime together, and I’ll have the chance to open my heart fully, knowing that even though I know how this story ends, it is fully and indisputably worth every bit of pain I will feel when you’re gone again. Even one hour in your orbit is enough to make the world feel right, so I’ll take whatever time I can get, with hope for as much of this lifetime as possible.

I’m here, arms open, ready to catch you out of the corner of my eye, know exactly who you are, and pick up exactly where we left off.
