Eternity (The Journey)

I can can remember the first glimpse of you, all that time ago. I can smell the room, see the vivid colours and remember what I was doing in that moment. The door it opened wide, people came in, I saw you there, wondered who you were.

Introduction was next to come, a shake of a hand, a new colleague but something else, I felt it had become. That moment has stuck for nearly 20 years, remembered without a doubt or detail missing, your hair, your perfume and your clothing too. The moment I fell in love for the first time in this life. It felt familiar, like from another time and another place

It was instant, like a strike of lightening. That love sat inside of me, I didn't share or make it known. I thought that it would never be, great friends, I knew we would always be. So that was settled for then at least. Just to know you was the best to me, the greatest friend I ever would see.

Deep down we knew the love was there but we didn't pursue, with others to care. Our friends they all used to joke and play, rib us about how much time we spent together. I think they saw the love too and helped us to embrace it rather than chase it away.

The signpost then came into view. The one that showed us what we should do. The realisation seemed to hit you first and then in me, so unrehearsed yet meant to be. I knew we had tried to stay away, avoiding each other the easiest way. It was never going to work long term, i'd long to see you, a glimpse i'd always yearn. Just to see you across a room, a pain inside, if only just to say hello.

I'd promised you I would be with you but couldn't prove it, so hard to do. The time was right and suddenly I'm there with you, where I should be, just you and me. The most amazing feeling in the world. Not many people were shocked at all, some had already made that call. Happiness here with us at last but something else has come to pass

Being with you brings back memories, not this life but one's before, the one's where you are there, just like before. You say it's surreal but it's true to us, the feeling of togetherness, a oneness, a love so true. our souls wrapped together, as they always will. 

Eternity started long before and goes long after. I look forward to the the times we will meet all over again, to continue the journey to our eternity

Love eternally yours
