A story of soul mates

A story of two souls, this day I write in here
I hold it close to my heart, it's so very dear

Both of them once flew down to earth
Fascinated by it, they both took birth

They, who lived together, were then torn apart
To learn how it feels, to meet and depart

Both were separated by a vast stretch of land
Their memories erased by some magic wand

Each one was brought up in a different way
Had a common longing though, every single day

As they grew up, the longing grew stronger
Where was the other, both used to wonder

Till one fine day, they could bear no longer
They decided to give up and ceased to ponder

They tried to make merry and mingle with the crowd
Would never be alone again, both had vowed

But time and again they met with despair
And in their hearts they knew this was unfair

They'd come together to learn about this world
And when they remembered that, hope unfurled

They decided to wait as long as it takes
Wouldn't want to put up with any more fakes

Their patience, one day, finally paid off
They looked at others and couldn't help but scoff

'Cause of the millions of faces they saw everyday
Not one was theirs, they could make out today

What happened suddenly, you are bound to ask
Well, they just learned, how to rip off the mask

And once the mask is thrown off, alright
Your true self appears as clear as daylight

They saw each other in this light
Though miles away, far out of sight

Whether they meet or not, is rather insignificant
When they bask in the glory of love, so magnificent
