I wanted to meet you for so long,
But over the years I gave up hope.
I thought maybe it’s better to be alone.
I can’t help waiting for you though.
Searching,
Sifting through my days,
hoping you’ll somehow magically appear.
I’m a fool.
What can I say?
Maybe I’m a romantic at heart.
I still want to meet you.
I know things won’t be as simple
or as cheesy as in the books and movies.
I know relationships take work on both sides.
I can’t help thinking you’ll be worth it though.
Are there sure soulmates for everyone?
I don’t know.
Maybe all I will find
are some loyal friends and a wonderful cat.
That doesn’t sound half bad.
BUT…
I long for you with an intensity that defies reason.
I believe you exist despite any logic otherwise.
You are important to me in a way I don’t understand.
I may say I’ve given up,
But we both know
I will keep hoping and searching until
I find you or I perish.
So please,
if you are out there,
don't stop searching for me too.

I think a lot of us feel this way from time to time. All of us are seeking that one connection that we hope will make our life more meaningful. This poem does a real good job of putting that feeling into words. Personally I'm not sure if such a thing as a soulmate exists, but that doesn't mean I won't stop trying to find mine.
This one feels like you cracked your heart open and just let the ink spill. A little self-aware in a way that makes it even more endearing. ✨
