You feel like a familiar story, and yet it is one that I did not anticipate.

I wonder in whispers,

…is this what it feels like to meet a “soul mate”?

I smile.

For in your presence I find peace.

I breathe.

And with every breath, I find relief.

There is no fear, nor any hurry.

Everything feels right…

I can stay till I need, in the space between what was and what will be, because I know confidently:

What is meant to be, will come to be…

…with time.
