Each of us is an entity. One of an infinite number of past, present, or future souls who have, or will, walk this planet.

Placed here, we wander through each day clinging to a dream or memory that gets us by, looking for someone to share those dreams, or make us forget the memories.

We construct the person we look for, and cast all others aside until we find that one person. So many of us are disappointed in our search as we discover that perfect person does not exist.

In that quagmire of souls each looking for someone, you stepped into my space. So many people, so many spaces, and you stepped into mine.

Fate? No, fate does not exist. Luck? Luck does not exist. Planned Chance. You were looking. I was looking. Who found whom?

It doesn't matter.
It never matters.

What matters is that it is real. It exists. The dream lives. The dream loves. You are now a part of me. I am a part of you. We are a part of us.

Time stands still.
No, it continues.

It is gone.
It is beginning.

And if, somehow, time separates us, know that I love you.

Now.
Forever.

And someday, somehow, as time moves unceasingly, it will lead us together agan. I will find you waiting. You will find me waiting.

Forever will be ours.

Because I love you.
Because you love me.
Because we love us.

Now
Forever.
