No Goodbyes Repost

No Goodbyes 

N ever has anyone been able to capture my soul
O nly you have my heart, using remote control

G one are the days of my never ending solitude
O vercast shadows dissipate, with my newfound mood
O bvious to all my heart and soul are all yours
D estiny has infused your fragrance, into my pores
B eauty is internal, not what's seen only with the eyes
Y our essence has consumed me, and finally I realize
E verything you do and say, to me is oh, so kindly
S eparation is impossible, because I love you blindly.

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes
because for those who love with heart and soul
there is no such thing as separation. Rumi
