I reached for you,
You reached for me.
It wasn't really planned,
But when we touched,
The magic sparked.
I felt my heart expand.
**
I reached. You reached.
We touched again,
I knew it then and there.
That this was
The beginning
Of the answer to my prayer.
**
We never felt
The need to reach
For anybody new.
Because if either
Had a need,
The other would come through.
**
I reached for you,
You reached for me,
We walked life hand in hand.
And looking back,
Our lifelong love,
Is rare in any land.
**
I reached for you,
but now you're gone.
Your absence left a hole.
Some sweet, fine day,
We'll reach again,
Where I can touch your soul.

So romantic. Soulmates finally collided.
Beautiful, it is wonderful to reach out and care for each other and then touch
This is so tender and heartfelt. The closing lines especially carry such a bittersweet beauty. 💜
That last stanza was so sad. Loved your poem!
Beautiful.
A lovely ode to love, Julie.
