That is what you meant to me: a light that shone through the darkness.” (Your smile, p. 56)

Behind these eyes
there is a girl trapped within
her pain – a girl feeling all the emotions
of anger and sadness.

But are the twin souls destined to be together? Synchronicity is at work here to bring the two back together again. How entrancing to find the same magical alchemy still at work, just as it was at the first meeting – a recognition of a deep rooted love so entrenched and so accepted, it could only have been forged in other lifetimes together. And probably that is what love at first sight is, recognition of an ancient love.

Words are God’s gift to mend a broken soul.

My wandering imagination never gives up on me and always finds ways to explore what my emotions entail.
