Soul Mates Have you ever met a person You never met before, That seemed much like a dear old friend Who knew you to your core? A person whom you trusted With no good reason to Aside from you just knowing It was the proper thing to do. Have you ever met a person Who swept you off your feet? With eyes that danced and sparkled, Above a smile so sweet. A person who confused you Although you knew not why. One who caused your eyes to mist But never made you cry. Do you believe in soul mates? A person matched to you. Someone in who's presence You never could be blue. But when you find a person You think was made for you, What do you do, where do you go When they don't feel it too? When you realize the something That you thought must flow two ways Was your imagination, Dreaming through a haze? There is no doubt they like you And might even think you sweet. But they make it plain through silence Your souls will never meet. You realize you have nothing To offer or to give. Your friend would never choose you As one with whom to live. You gather resolution And swallow foolish pride. You tell your heart it won't work And prepare to step aside. You raise your soul's defenses Ands tuck your heart away. Then slowly start back down the path Toward another day. Alone again, into the night Dark and bitter cold. Perhaps someday you'll meet the one Who can finally warm your soul. ~devilpup~
