I come to you in the dark of night ,,I know I shouldn't be here,,,it is not yet our time . but I can't help standing here by your bed ,watching you sleep.There have been so many nights like this through the years and I have often wondered if you knew I was there...I was the very first one in this world to gaze into your eyes... right from that moment I knew that our souls were forever tied..'We are all given to this, that feeling that creeps onto our lives,,, that moment when our Old Souls are discovered......When we realize that perhaps we are different....It is not an awakening, it is not even a discovery....It is simply a different way of seeing',,For we are old souls,, We seem to know our way to each other without knowing,,Though many women have walked through your doors,still It was me you slayed the dragons for,,And me that has died from a broken heart, when it was your turn to depart before me.. We have been through all the mistakes and sorrows of a 40 lifetimes, and yet we still have learned nothing ..
As I sit on the edge of your bed ,I engrave every line on your face in my mind, wondering what you are dreaming.Tonight you are restless,as if you are desperately searching for your way home, I hate to see all that pain built up in you. I reach out to comfort you...My fingers touch your face ever so lightly so as not to awaken you.God I love watching you sleep.. thinking of how your resting eyes tell me all the things you do not allow your self say aloud.
Somehow I know that I must leave you now,and the thought tears me apart.. if only once you could see me,,feel me,,but before sliping back into the night shadows from which I came...I lean down and touch your cheek with my lips and whisper I Love You ..
Someday we will reunite...I am sure of it...
