I thought I had it all figured out...
I knew life didn't always go as planned, yet I became expert at making the most of what was served, and feasting.
I thought I'd filled the void in my heart with such an eclectic array. I know I had, without regret to this day.
I just didn't realize I'd missed a hole, a perfect silhouette of the cliche puzzle piece.
The empty space camouflaged so well amid my life's treasures.
Then I met you, a passer-by, exchanged hellos of mere acquaintance...but then I met you again, and your eyes, looking back at me, reflecting back such a magnificent light.
You, so... So desirable, with such a passionate, heartfelt, sincere, honest, forgiving, accepting and loving grasp on life...perfectly broken.
I could draw for hours, days, eternity tracing and connecting the lines into speechless works of art.
Your shattered pieces glistening, emitting the most elegant aura I'd ever seen.
Foreign to me, such grace from pain.
I thought I'd mastered that, thought...
Until I looked into your eyes, and met greatness.
I found myself lost in gaze with you.
****** into another realm, through twisting wormholes of iridescent glows, contrasting with the pitch black of eternity surrounding...spinning, up then down, left then right, backward and forward...Until I was spat out into an eerily silent crisp white serenity.
There, I was faced with your soul, and I saw myself.
They say there's only one face you'll never meet, and that is your own, yet there we were, face to face.
The missing puzzle piece to the void in my heart that I'd worked so hard to cover.
The eyes are the mirror to the soul?
I found myself in you, and watched as you recognized yourself in me.
Each finding the exact of what was missing, what we needed to find, not a moment too soon, not a second too late, but just as it is meant to be.
Two sets of shattered glass, pieced together, gleaming as the fragments intermix harmoniously, into an intricate phenomenal masterpiece.
And when the darkness surrounds us, melded together we find the slightest sliver of starlight to dance with hope, and light the moon.
And when the light shines, we warm our world, with a most ardent soft glow.
I know now, I see now...
I see you, I see me...
Us, stained glass of broken souls, amalgamated as one beautiful reflection of love.

I will never again question when you're lost in gaze with me, for upon reflection I now see.
