THE SOULMATE

You spoke love first.
Not because I lacked courage—
but because your soul remembered mine.

You said you were Sagittarius.
I knew then.
Two wanderers returning to an ancient vow.

I told you Capricorn shields me,
yet Scorpio rose the hour I entered this world.
You listened,
as if you had heard it centuries before.

You crossed borders for me.
Not for a man—
but for a destiny.
My soul called.
You answered.

When we met,
your kiss broke the silence of forgotten lifetimes.
Your eyes—
home.
In that moment,
you awakened the memories sleeping in my bones.

I told you I rise at 3 a.m. to pray.
You said, “I will rise with you.”
I walk the morning earth,
barefoot,
to greet the sun.
You never feared my rituals.
You never doubted my path.
You became part of it.

Meditation—
my daily bread.
You tasted it without hesitation.

Now I see it clearly:
our love was woven long ago.
Once in old England.
Once under another name.
Once under another sky.
And here we stand—
reborn into the same flame.

They say love is the strongest force in the universe.
Perhaps that is why we returned.
Perhaps that is why we collide again,
as lovers,
as mirrors,
as fate.

Maybe you are the missing piece of my destiny.
When I look at the stars,
they whisper your name.
When I face the mountains,
they echo your truth.

If God has brought us together,
who dares to divide what Heaven remembers?
