An open letter to my twin flame wherever you may be…

I must confess, I know who you are, and I vowed to love you from the moment our eyes met. I just didn’t know it yet. So, forgive me, for taking so long. But everyone describes love as this earth shattering feeling of … well I guess that’s part of the problem. Everyone describes true love differently — so how do you know when it happens to you?

In our case, I wasn’t looking for you at all. In most ways I was content with working on myself and I led with that, but there was also a part of me that must have known you were coming because I dreamt of you, without a second thought.

In those fleeting moments of limbo, you snuck up on me. There were no fireworks or even immediate attraction, you walked in and everything was serene. I had no idea that anything had changed, little did I know, everything would. Looking back it’s undeniable — our meeting was forged and synchronized in ways that can only be described as meant-to-be and I have not gone a day without you in my heart or on my mind. No, you’re not perfect, and I never expected you to be, but I stand firmly by the fact that you are perfect for me. God knows, we will never be perfect and that’s ok — when has that ever had any merit in love?

If there’s one thing I have learned it’s that love can take many forms, exist in varying degrees, and span infinities. The love we experience romantically or platonically is the same love we grasp from loving ourselves unconditionally.

I hope and pray that you are learning to love and accept yourself for who you are, because… GOD! — If you could only see what I see. You would understand why you never quite fit in, you would understand all the hardships and anxiety. You would understand that who you were meant to be is so much bigger than the world has led you to believe. So, love yourself! Love yourself first and everything else will align.

People constantly ask me why I don’t date, but how could I settle or put a placeholder in a space where I know love should exist in an incomparable abundance. With just one glance, you opened a cavity of love in my heart that I didn’t know was possible and I had to learn to fill it without you to grow into the person that’s ready for you.

That’s ready for us.

During my dark night of the soul which you unknowingly erupted I wasn’t sure what to make of anything. Every emotion hurt like a thousand knives, I couldn’t breathe, and my eyes were a cloudy storm, but one thing was clear — you — your image replaying in my mind. Our past, our present and our future all on repeat.

Call me crazy, but in that time, I felt like we were one. Even though we had to have been miles apart and none the wiser, we had temporarily merged into one being. I heard you, I felt your presence, and I can only hope that through your pain you experienced mine. Because through all the agony and confusion, I found truth, and that allowed me to finally awaken.

I never knew love would feel like this. Like every cell in your body vibrating to the tune of pure violet light. Like this overwhelming sense of safety and acceptance all wrapped up in abundant joy. Here I go, doing a terrible job of explaining it all — maybe it’s something that can only truly be felt.

But I must say, this feeling is the closest thing I know to heaven and I shudder to imagine there’s much more. I didn’t realize until after you left, but your aura felt like home. A feeling I had yet to experience in this lifetime and one I desperately crave every day.

You are the kindest and humblest person I know, and I love you. It’s crazy to say, considering we only met for a possible span of two minutes, but your soul recognized mine and I have never been the same. You are my home, and I have a feeling you always have been.

Time now without you is bittersweet but now that I know how it feels to truly love someone without limits I’d wait an eternity for you.

Until we meet again. My love, like the wind, forever and infinitely growing for you and for all.
