YOU ~

I always knew that you were out there somewhere and that someday I’d find you.

Even when I pretended that it didn’t matter,

my soul yearned for you.

Whether I was awake or asleep,

I saw you in my dreams, felt you in the quickening of my heart, glimpsed you in the gold that laces the twilight horizon.

Even though I couldn’t

see your face, I always knew who you were; for your soul passed through mine, and your warmth filled the emptiness, and your light filled the darkness.

And always, I’d forget myself,

forget my fears;

for you held my heart in your hands and made my spirit feel complete.

And when I felt your warmth,

I became one with

the greatest joy known to mankind,

the joy of love.

And I can’t begin to express how wonderful it is to have found you at last.
