Love Eternal

The perfect love story.

It began with the electric shock that represented the beginning of something new, but in reality it felt as though what we discovered had existed forever and that we were picking up where we had left off years before...maybe from another life. Rumi is quoted with, "Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along." My heart agrees. We experienced the intricate dance of getting to know someone, the intoxicating and dizzying feelings which accompany this process, and moments which can't be captured by or in words because they lived independently from us. We were merely allowed to be there. A unique blend of peacefulness and mystifying lightening bolts. Everything we exchanged and shared we did so without hesitation or selfishness: dreams, fears, words, friendship, truth, love, touch, hope,...and a bit of sadness. We co-created a world where only the two of us existed in unprecedented bliss. No one will ever know what was said between us or how our souls danced in those days. We experienced a lifetime of love in a little over a year, but what we have will live inside of us for the remainder of our days. Unlike other stories that may have an ending filled with loss, ours will have an infinite life that is untarnished and as 'perfect' as love can be.

None of us can predict where our paths will take us, but I do believe the value is in the journey. Our story is a happy one. If I weep, it's only because I remember fondly what we once had and our dreams of what could have been.
