A Couple of Twin Soul Poems

     These are from Rumi:

During the day I was singing with you.

At night we slept in the same bed.

I was not conscious day or night.

 

I thought I knew who I was,

but I was you.

 

---------------------------------------------

 

The minute I heard my first love story

I started looking for you,

not knowing how blind that was.

 

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.

They are in each other all along.

 

--------------------------------------------
