Lovers don't finally meet somewhere"

Now i finally understand what Rumi had said
about "lovers not meeting each other somewhere -
but that they are in each other all along..."
now, you've made me understand:
that love was there all along -
it was only i who was blind...

For i've lived all these years apart -
without a thought, without a tinkle,
without the urge to sit back and wonder
or marvel at that steadfast love
that has always been there -
it was only i who was blind...

For if you could love me so much, for so long -
then i should have been the happiest gal around...
but it was not to be, 'coz it was i who was blind...
till God took pity on us, and intervined:
and i wasn't blind any more, 'coz i finally saw
the one who had loved me so well, for such a long,long while...

So, now i do understand, that lovers don't finally meet, somewhere -
they're in each other all along, waiting to be discovered...
