You ever meet somebody
and your soul don’t knock
it just walk in like it live there?
That’s you.
It wasn’t loud.
Wasn’t fireworks.
It was recognition.
Like…
“Oh. There you are.”
Like we been circling lifetimes
just to crash into each other
at the right wrong time.
You feel familiar.
Not just in my hands
but in my spirit.
Like my heart knew your rhythm
before you ever let me hear it.
We don’t even gotta say it.
It sit between us.
Heavy. Warm. Unavoidable.
That kind of love
that don’t beg for titles.
That don’t need witnesses.
That just… is.
We balance like fire and oxygen
separate, we survive.
But Together?
We ignite.
Twin flame ain’t about perfection.
It’s about reflection.
And when I look at you
I see my strength
and my softness
and my shadow
all staring back at me.
That’s why it feel intense.
That’s why it feel scary.
That’s why it feel forever.
Because
This that….
“even if we drift, we still tethered”
“even in silence, I still feel you”
“even if pride try to play us,
our souls don’t lie”
type love.
You don’t gotta say you love me.
I feel it in the way you come back.
In the way your energy reach for mine
even when your mouth don’t.
Maybe timing trying to teach us patience.
But one thing I know?
What’s meant to burn eternal
don’t die from distance.
It just waits.
And baby…
if this really what I think it is
We are not temporary,
We are just unfolding.
