SOUL MATES

Could it be that I have always known you,
If even from a different life?
Or could it be that fate has touched me,
And filled my soul with yours?

For it seems as though I know you,
Just as well as I know myself.
I know your thoughts, your dreams, and your secrets.
I know your fears are the same as mine.

The fear of opening up and letting someone get close to you.
The fear of being hurt again and again.
The fear of rejection.
The fear of being alone.

When I touch your skin,
I feel as though I am touching my own.
When I look into your eyes,
It is as though I am looking into a mirror.

Are we that much alike?
Are we that much different?
There is a reason why our lives feel as though we are one.
It is simple. It is clear.

We are soul mates.
That is the reason for our unity.
How do I calm my fears?
By knowing that you are my Soul Mate.

Although our souls were separated at birth,
Through fate and the thousands of choices,
Right or wrong that we have made in our lives,
We have found each other and now it is up to us
To continue this life, not alone, but together,

As Soul Mates.
