From everything I’ve read,
and what I have heard
about peoples’ NDEs,
it seems when we die
romantic love dies too.

I don’t mean because we
are dead in the ground.
I mean when we are alive
in our spirits, which I believe
we become when we die.

But woe upon woes how it
saddens me to think that
romantic love could be gone
forever, rekindled never.

I also believe that the apex
of our evolution is spiritual,
what the Hindus call the
Sat Chit Ananda, the eternal
bliss consconscious,
the Oneness beyond dualities.

But the romantic in me whats
the fairy tale ending, the in
love forever and ever after.
But, alas, what I want is of
no significance in the greater
scheme of things, and
“what will be will be.”
