The day I met you,
it was like an arrow
pierced my soul
and tattooed my heart.
You are my kindred spirit,
my partner-in-crime,
the other part of me
that I didn’t know was missing
and I now cannot live without.
The day I met you,
the sun exploded through the clouds
and the flowers bloomed in celebration
and the world became full of colour
and it felt like I was
finally coming home.
The instant connection
made me feel like
I have known you
for a thousand lifetimes already
and yet somehow
I still look forward to
being with you
in this one.
