In Another Lifetime

I still remember the first time my eyes met yours. I was rendered speechless by the kindness and compassion, the swirls of blues and greens, and the way your eyes had the depth of an ocean beneath them. I was beside myself, for never before had I been so drawn to another person in my life. We tried to fight it, tried to deny it, but the bond we grew to share became unbreakable and we could no longer pretend. People tried to keep us apart but it merely fed the desire like oil to a flame. We became inseparable within a few months. Romeo and Juliet quickly became a building block in our relationship. We clung to every second as if it was our last and gave each other a part of ourselves we didn't know we had to give. We did everything together and eventually started to shut people out one by one. All we needed and wanted in that moment was each other. We were blissfully unaware that this was the start of an horrific end.
