You are the blessing I missed..

We are the same souls

In different bodies—

That’s how you made me feel today.

You were talking,

I was listening.

In our heart-warming conversation,

You shared a simple truth

And made me laugh from hell to heaven.

My stomach ached with laughter,

Yet my heart became feather-light.

What magic you brought into that moment!

I felt like I was speaking

With my childhood friend,

Someone I had known for decades.

You crack jokes spontaneously,

Effortlessly, without conscious thought.

For the first time in a long while,

I laughed so loud and so deep

That tears rolled down my face.

I used to make people laugh—

But today, someone close to my heart

Did the same to me.

What a beautiful feeling that is.

What a wonderful company you are to me.

Where were you, my dear

All these years?

Why did God not show you to me

So much earlier?

Why did He curse me with such delay?

I will listen to your voice

Endlessly, till my last breath.

Now my only satisfaction is this—

At least I know you.

At least you are there.

You are the

Blessing I  permanently missed.
