Answer

"Since before I was born. Since before my ancestors were born. Since before the dawning of the Earth, my spirit has longed for yours.
We were together once. Before. In a heaven that transcended all human thought. Not for the splendor or unyielding happiness offered, but for the company we kept in Christ and for the companionship we found in each other, were we truly joyful.
Our separation - from that Eden and from each other - was the lament of angels. But our time apart left nothing to be desired. Still we were cloaked and protected by that unabstaining light of secret knowledge. Only now, now that our souls have met once again do we realize the dark, shrouded haze in which we wondered - each lost without the other. But no more. For now and forever, we are, at long last, found. What other name can be given to the grace bestowed upon us? What other name than amazing?
We have known pure, untainted, celestial joy in our heavenly home. With our departure came the knowledge and understanding of temporal, love - ethereal existence. Alas! We are bound no longer to suffer. For we are no longer two wandering spirits, but one consummated whole. And never again are we to be parted. For I have found you, and you me. We will depart from one another now, only in death. And even in death, we shall be reunited in our blissful heaven - our longed-for home. And there we shall remain until the days of His reign are ended.
An eternity.
My pledge to you.
Eternity."
