Work Text:
We go through life without seeing the world around us. We all move like a dance but without seeing the people around us. It is evening, and we are moving slowly home from work. Who are we now when we shed our professional selves? Now that we may be ourselves? Who really sees who I am? Do I even see it myself?
But in the midst of this dance, we can notice someone else who, like us, lives in the world we share. The world we separate ourselves from. I pause in my mind. I stop walking mindlessly through the streets. I see you, waiting, perhaps without knowing it.
I want to leave my body behind and let my soul move unhindered. We were cast from the same mould, although long ago, perhaps even before the dawn of time.
I have seen the universe flourish and galaxies painted. I have been on earth every day without understanding why I was left here. I have been waiting. And, now, I want to know for what. We were cast from the same mould — you for me, and I for you.
We move towards each other; we leave the world behind. But there is a wall between us. We were cast from the same mould, but then I was thrown out while you were allowed to stay in the light and warmth.
But I can wait.
We were cast from the same mould.
I can wait.
