Twin

Don’t tell me this isn’t real

When I feel it so deeply in my heart

Which tears and tears

At the thought of 30 more months apart

Don’t tell me to find someone new

When my soul knows

What is true

You are my heart and my home

My unconditional resting place

Of joy and hope and happiness

And even though our journey

Has caused me such pain

I would do it all again

Because you are my twin

And no one can keep us

Separated for ever

And if death comes

I will feel you

As I feel your approach now

Moving through the deep waters of my soul

Like the echo of my truest self

That I seemed to be parted from

So very long ago
