Even Before

Are you the first soul
I have ever met?
The one with which
I shall spend the rest of my life —
Walking side by side,
Down our chosen path?

Are you the first soul
I have ever met?
Before all others after
The one true love,
Every one forever searches for —
Yet so few rarely find.

Are you the first soul
I have ever met?

In a place more heavenly than earth,
Two souls casually introduced to each other —
Forever destined to remain together —
Even before we were ever born.
