Twin Souls

They stood together one last time dreading what came next, having seen the path before them, having written their own text. "Being born again," she looked at him, "is scarier than dying. I fear the pain and illnesses, physicality's so trying." "And how am I to bear it," her green eyes filled with tears, "knowing I'll be half a soul for all of fifty years?" "We must be brave and live these lives and try to do no harm, so that down the road we'll meet again and you'll be in my arms." "We must try to mend our karmas, that's why we chose these paths, the suffering will be worth it for the heavenly aftermath." "I shall always feel half-empty, though I guess I won't know why," and the enormity overcame them and they both began to cry. "Have faith, my lambs," they heard God say, "for the two of you are blessed, and you' ll be reunited once you've passed your earthly tests." "And the glory will be heavenly and mystical and sweet, and you will be rewarded when you two finally meet." "You'll know a love that's boundless, as you once again are whole. Most people aren't so lucky, to share a life with their twin soul." So bravely they went forward and their memories were erased, they struggled half a century and then came face to face. It was just as God had promised, and they cherished every day, and their love-light was a beacon, and their love-light shone the way.
