My Promise from a Past Life

I cannot stop thinking of her,

even though it is over.

Days, weeks and years have passed,

and I still wonder why this is happening to me.

Then I realised something

maybe she is from my past life.

I made her a promise back then,

and I am still keeping it in this life.

"I will love her forever",

"I will wait for her",

"I will never leave”,

These are promises my soul still remembers.

In this life, I met her once again,

maybe not to continue our story.

But just to remind her,

that I am still keeping my promise.

My soul knew, I would meet her again,

not as a punishment, but as freedom.

It knew about the trauma and pain,

but maybe my soul needed to grow.

I really do not know,

how many lifetimes have passed,

how many times I have loved her,

and how many more still remain.

I do not know when we will finally

release each other from this bond.

But in every lifetime, I know one thing,

I will love her even more than before.
