PERSONAL/ LETTERS: OUR SOULS ARE CONNECTED..MAYBE THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN

Poets like myself often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. that's what it was like for me. i didn't plan on falling in love with you, and i doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. but once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. we fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. for me, love like that has happened only once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. i'll never forget a single moment of it.

The reason why it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. maybe they always have been and will be. maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other. and maybe each time, we've been forced apart for the same reasons. that means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand years and a prelude to what will come.

When i look at you, i see your beauty and grace and know they have grown stronger with every life you haved lived. and i know i have spent every life before this one searching for you. not someone like you, but you, for your soul and mine must always come together. and then. for a reason neither of us understands, we've been forced to say goodbye.

I would love to tell you that everything will work out for us, and i promise to do all i can to make sure it does. but if we never meet again and this is truly goodbye, i know we will see each other again in another life. we will find each other again, and maybe the stars will have changed, and we will not only love each other in that time, but for all the times we've had before.



PART 2

I don't know what to say anymore except that i couldn't sleep last night because i knew that it is over between us. it is a different feeling for me, one that i never expected, but looking back, i suppose it couldn't have ended another way.

You and i were different. we came from different worlds, and yet you were the one who taught me the value of love. you showed me what it was like to care for another, and i am a better man because of it. i don't want you to ever forget that.

I am not bitter because of what has happened. on the contrary, i am secure in knowing that what we had was real, and i am happy we were able to come together for even a short period of time. and if, in some distant place in the future, we see each other in our new lives, i will smile at you with joy, and remember how we spent a summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. and maybe, even for a brief moment, you'll feel it too, and you'll smile back, and savor the memories we will always share together.

I am searching for my future wife/soulmate. Please stop by again.
