SOULMATE

For MAX....with all my love.


Soulmate...Funny word, that.
A soul looking for its mate
as if it had a life of its own.

I never thought that it was 
a true and viable thing...just
a word to be bandied about when 
someone needed an excuse to get out
of a bad relationship.

"Sorry, we just don't click.  
We are not soulmates".

I'm too old to worry about those things.
Too old to believe in soulmates and
true love and all that nonsense.

Be practical.  Live life as it is.

But wait.  

It is true.

Soulmate.  My soul finding yours
because it does have a life of its own
and I finally let it free to find 
what it needed and wanted all along.

A living, viable thing worth waiting for,
worth believing in, no excuses involved.
Two people intertwined not knowing where
one begins and the other ends and not
caring to find out.  Feeling complete, whole 
and alive because you have found that part
of you which was asleep and waiting to
be awakened.

I'm too old to worry that this is NOT
right...because I know that it is.
I have spent half my life not believing.
Please let me spend what is left of my life
believing...in you....in us.

You ARE my soulmate.
You ARE my love.
And I am yours....forever.
