Two Souls
On the love that arrives feeling like discovery — and the promise to be the one who shows up.
For the love that surprises you with its depth — and for the small, repeated work of staying near it.
Don’t cry my love
Because if you do
I’ll cry too
For your pain is my pain
And your joy is my happiness
I never knew this feeling could exist
Two souls and many goals
Two wholes acting as halves
In support and growth to be had
A love so pure — it feels like a dream
It seems otherworldly
This plain of peace
So when I see you sad
I promise I’ll be there (always)
And wipe away your tears
Two wholes acting as halves. That’s the whole secret. Not two halves becoming a whole — two whole people choosing, daily, to act as part of something larger. The dependence is a choice, not a wound.
