You stood there suddenly before me, like a creature born of another world. Fear and courage intertwined within me, and in that instant, I knew I was lost—forever. Love had taken hold of me completely: my soul, my heart, my body, my very existence. I stared at you, unmoving, breathless, not even a blink betraying me. Resistance dissolved. Control slipped away. I was spellbound.

There was kind of magic about you, an aura that reached outward and pulled me closer. Step by step, helpless, I moved toward you until there was no space left between us. A deep, undeniably sensational feeling of timeless familiarity rose within me as though I had always known you. As we had met across a thousand lifetimes.

You gave me a surprised look.

“Finally, I have found you again,” I whispered, with a soft and fulfilled voice.

You smiled at me, warm and gentle, and answered:

“I will always find the way back to you, always and forever.”
