Soul Mates

A woman sees a mans eyes glowing at her

She smiles a reply to a silent message he's sending her

Her mind races back through lost memories and dreams

She somehow instantly knows everything is not what it seems.

She moves closer and he drops before her to his knees.

People move away amazed as he takes her hand and slowly looks up deeply into her eyes.

They witness a thundering sound of communication unspoken.

They see a connection that has survived time and death awoken.

She offers her trembling hand without a care to this familiar but strange and compelling man

She can't break the stare but then she mutters these words.

"Who are you and why do I feel that I've known you for years?"

His reply fills a void in her heart 

She hears screams lost of her soul.

His eyes reflect years of her lost memories and sorrows.

"A time long ago 

A place far away

We danced in the sun

To the beat of the day.

We loved so deeply

We once knew our way

Look at me now

Look deep into my eyes

That's where the truth is

Behind all of the lies

I know that it's you

The one my heart loved before

I know that it's you to the deep of my core.

You must see love's flame burn in the soul of this man

Who died protecting you in a far, distant land.

You must understand that fate played us this hand

To bridge the lifetime spent apart in separate lands.

For fate knows that I love you and I know I'm in your heart.

You do love me too but you don't know where that starts

I'm here right now to take your hand and show you a way

To feel love so powerfully complete each and every day.

We've been torn apart at least once in a time long before

That may yet happen to us again and again in life or as it did before in war.

These lifetimes can't break the bond between our two hearts 

These lifetimes can't break this true love apart

That's why I am here, 
humbled, alone on my knees, 
my heart is yours and forever it has been, 
forever it will burn fiercely for your love,

Please love as you loved before,
Please love me again my eternal love"
