hey soulmate,
you are not here, but you are.
i connect with you, even from a far.
our talks were out of these world,
you reflect on every bet of my word.
can’t cut lose, i’m trying to focus.
the comfort in every conversation
is now a lifetime discomfort
how heavy it is to carry on
pressured to live as time goes on
a roommate, a close friend, a mentor,
those who i’ve seen with a sense of humor
that someone with all the sarcastic comments
is now part of my intellectual habits
i’m not a poet
but that is not the point
just taking a moment
in being in the present
because i know
that in my silent moment
i am grateful for the past
i hold it like a glass
…unbroken
and hey, i love who i am.
i share it with whom i love.
the past may be a distraction
accepting the present's imperfection
an only way i can guarantee
bringing it to today is my cup of tea.
-
again, i am not a poet. i have written many of these. but never published, nor re-read. one thing i know for sure, a soulmate is a connection, a mutual understanding, a trust, a comfort, and a compatibility.
it's 10:00pm. goodnight soulmate. <3
