Soul mate

The truth is I am very lonely,

lost and confused.

Like most people are.

When we sat and talked

with openness and honesty

I felt lifted up by you

and so unbelievably attracted.

It wasn’t a simple physical attraction

I’ve felt that before, that little flash

of fantasy that flickers momentarily on the mind.

Or could it be just that?

You are so handsome and charming.

I have never felt so comfortable

with anyone else in my life.

Was it just me or where we

totally in sync?

Practically finishing off

each other’s sentences.

When I’m in your company

I want to tell you everything

and I want to hear everything from you.

I care so deeply, it hurts.

I don’t need you,

but I want to be always in your company.

It is never enough.

I think you are my best friend, confidant

and dare I say it …

soul mate.

A mirror to show me everything,

 awaken me from my sleep,

reveal a layer of myself back to me

and then slip away.
