if ever we meet

I think I shall stop startled if ever we meet after our next birth, walking
in the light of a far-away world. I shall know those dark eyes then as morning stars, and yet feel that they have belonged to some unremembered evening sky of a former life.

I shall know that the magic of your face is not all its own, but has stolen the passionate light that was in my eyes at some immemorial meeting, and,then gathered from my love a mystery that has now forgotten its origin.
-- Rabindranath Tagore

I don't exactly belief in soul mates but, then again, I sorta kinda do. I think I met mine and he rejected me, even came to shun me. I had to move on. I don't think I will ever again feel about anyone as I do about the man with whom I have a deep, etheric, energetic bond.  So, since he shuns me in this life, I will not be startled when we meet after our next births. I will rejoice and welcome his return into my orbit.
