I Can’t Wait to Meet You⁠
By Sam Yau⁠


When I see your face for the first time⁠
you lift your gaze to meet mine⁠

Time freezes⁠
everyone else fades away⁠
we know our destiny ⁠

Fired-up neurons trance-dance in unison⁠
we dive into each other with no fear.⁠

We soar to heaven, sink to hell⁠
unleash our best and our worst⁠
mirror each other’s light and shadow⁠
we grind at each other’s humanness⁠
in joy, in pain, we grow together⁠

No matter how many times⁠
we separate and reunite⁠
we always find our way back ⁠
to one another⁠

We recognize our original faces⁠
remember our eternal bond⁠
intertwined for many lifetimes⁠
forever in each other’s embrace⁠

To see and be seen⁠
in our soul-essence⁠
is to be in God's presence⁠
