Cosmic Love

The words vibrate on the lips, always there
Right on the tip of the tongue.
In the pauses of my mind
the intervals in which there is no initial thought
I can't help but think of you.
As each day passes, the words take a life of their own.
They attempt to leap out of me each time I talk to you.
I close my eyes. Falling into the dream.
                           ....
I am in the wilderness. Walking through the thickets
The branches of the trees scrape my skin as I walk passed
I hear the crunch of the leaves on the bottom of the forest floor
It is the pieces of fallen lovers
They are a warning. Reminding me that there's a risk.
I disregard the messages.
I am all in.

I continue to walk towards your light
I disregard the doubts of the night
The forest gets thicker and thicker
My arms and legs are covered in the scrapes and scratches
I am disinterested in the surface wounds that cover my skin
Determined to find your light.

I come to the clearing
                             ....
You stand there your back towards me. The light pulses as it radiates off of you.
Suddenly I am stuck
The whispers of the night fill me with doubt.
I look down at my feet. Remembering the fallen lovers.
"Maybe I'm not..."

But before I can finish the thought I see a new pair of feet meet mine.
You lift my face to meet yours.
I see you for the first time.
You are a mirror. Bright and silvery.
I see myself in your reflection.
I see what you see.
The beauty that I contain. The power I capture. The potential for greatness.

For the first time, I realize that you are me and I am you.
No worries. No doubts. No fear.
                                   .....
You realize the same thing.
For when you see me, you see the same thing.
A mirror of yourself.
The beauty. The power. The potential for greatness.

This is the Cosmic Love. The once-in-a-lifetime love.
The love that is way higher than anything on this earth.
Star-crossed lovers.
Molded by a pact made on the stars at conception.

Three-thousand miles. Two families. Thirteen years.
Countless lovers.
Only for us to find one person.

The amnesia is lifted as we just bask in the cosmic love.
                              .....
Awake.
