You Said…
We were destined to meet.
Regardless of the span of the millennia
Our souls would find each other
Again and again
We had a timeless connection
I was the one
I made you feel truly alive
You felt whole again just being near me
You didn’t know what it was about me
Except when you looked into my eyes
You saw your soul smiling back at you
“There is nothing more painful than grieving someone who’s still living.”
~ Rupi Kaur
You are gone now
I no longer get lost in your eyes
Are we to meet again, as you said
In this lifetime
In the next lifetime
If this is destiny
I can take no more of its cruelty
There is a dark space where my heart used to be
A lonely and bleeding void I cannot fill
Just to hold you in my arms
Once more in this lifetime
Is everything I could ever want for
