Intergalactic Love Story

I'm not really one for posting poetry, but this one arrived at my inbox today and you know, I realized I'd never read any starseed poetry before!

There is something in this that I think will resonate with many others out there, so if you're one of them, enjoy.

His back was to her as he stared out into space--
His sadness overwhelmed him, he could not look her in the face.
Arms folded, silent and stoic-- she could feel his pain.
She begged him to say bye to her, he wouldnt get this chance again.

They had discussed it time and again
And he fought her all the way--
Of all the volunteers they had,
Why was is it she who was leaving this day?

He didn't understand her choice
Why she was leaving him behind--
She tried to tell him her soul needed
To grow, and nothing could change her mind.

"Down through my lifetimes
I may not remember you
Each life I will learn and grow, and one day
You'll understand it too."

These words he heard so much but so stricken with grief was he--
He realized her choice was made and he had to set her free.
"Our love is not ending-- it's just on hold for a while,
Now turn around my love, and let me go with a smile."

He turned around, pulled her close and took her hands with his,
He leaned his head down to hers,
touching foreheads and said this:
"Though eons may pass, one thing will stay true--
No matter what happens, I will always love you."

She could see the sadness in his stoic tearless eyes
He pulled her close once more and gave a deep kiss goodbye.
And on the ship she boarded, looking back she could see his face
The ship pulled away from the dock and launched out into space.

He stayed close for many years as her first incarnation wore on
Then, making the same choice for himself, his incarnations then begun.
So on to Earth he came, living life after life after life
Both near yet so far, each learning though their strife.

Centuries wore on and neither knew of the other,
Till one day she awoke and realized there is another.
So she sits back and waits for the day that he will awaken,
And silently she watches, no chances are to be taken.

She ponders the lonliness he felt when she was the one who was gone,
As now she is the one who is left waiting for her long lost love to return.
Ascension's coming fast and her time is almost up,
Time to take the ship back home, and pick up where they left off.

Assonia's still there, so are the beaches and the triple sun,
The mountains and the domed city all await when the mission's done.
But for now, her earthlife is foremost on her mind
And she knows he is there, of whom she will find.

But until then,
their lives must go on
And she's content in knowing--
Together, they'll go home.
