He was a Buddhist monk,
dead set on attaining nirvana.
But when he saw her in a dream,
and she appeared to him the next day
in a bazaar in a Tibetan city, he knew
they were destined to be lovers.
A man of honor, he couldn’t forsake
his vows as a Buddhist monk,
so he renounced his vows, left the
monastery, to be with her, his true love.
They died together in a fatal car crash
many years later.
Now they’re in their own shared nirvana
of eternal romantic love, soulmates
in love forever and ever and ever.
