Hair emerged from follicles
Blood pumping through veins
Bones offering structure
Flesh stretching from head to toe
All merely cosmetics
Ethnicity
Gender
Weight
Status
Not one of them vital
As I am interested in the soul
Your soul
Resplendent essence
I've been drawn to
I've loved
Hundreds of years
Perhaps it is a curse or blessing
That I remember
Remember every detail of our past lives
Whereas, your memory is reset
With each new encounter
Regardless, whenever your eyes
Brown
Green
Blue
Or gray
Have met mine
I notice the recognition
Alight behind them
No matter who we are
Where we are
Your heart continuously
Remembers me
Your soul
Remembers mine
Epidemia
Wars
Great Depression
Racism
Segregation
Natural disasters
You name it
Our souls have been through it
Surviving together
Stronger each time
Even death doesn't separate us for long
I'm confident that I'll find you
Or you me
So, sleep now, my angel
I shan't be far behind you
Undoubtedly, we'll meet because
As always, I'll search for you
Our hearts will connect
Our souls will merge
Our love will flourish once again
