On the road here,
we didn't know
what appeared to be separate journeys
were intertwined.

We didn't know
we were learning the language
souls speak when they meet.

We didn't know
we were gathering treasures
for each other.

Now,
our long roads here
open the doors of the heart,
cross the threshold of possibilities
and fears,
into new mysteries
unreachable
apart.
