How do we express how grateful we are to have found each other?

Amongst the throngs of lonely, incomplete, souls
not yet satiated
Befuddled in their searches
Their appetites growing with each failure.

Yet we gorge ourselves.

Who are we to be so happy?

What forces at play do we thank and pay tribute to, lest this glorious gift bestowed for reasons I know not, be taken away.

What price did we pay?

A new fear?
That now my well being and life depend not only on my sense of self preservation, but on yours as well, as we now share one heart?

I pay it gladly and I offer you more of my share

My heart is no longer my own

My mind no longer my own

My future no longer my own

OURS

How did we come to find ourselves so lucky? So, Blessed?

What favorable manner of beings were we in a past life?
Perhaps we knew each other then too.

Perchance you were the Buddha and I the Bodhi tree that gave him shade those 49 days

Or maybe we were something less grand, but somehow still equally deserving.

I cannot say
by what design, or whose for that mater, we found each other.

Though I would venture to guess

We were made for each other
Simply parts of a whole being united.
