(Sorry, but I'm a romantic...)

My Soul Mate

Love at first sight, they said, shaking their heads.

No, love through the ages, we said instead

And while love at first sight is seldom true,

My heart knew yours when my heart was new.

It is often said that love can be blind.

Above all, you've shown me, love is kind.

Loves forsaken and lessons learned,

Promise this life we have earned.

To finally walk the earth side by side,

You my husband and I your bride.

Love as old as the stars above,

A passion that poets can only dream of.

Two hearts, two souls, again are one.

Love that is old, though just begun.

Through all lives lived, and all loves loved,

One remains true.

My friend, my lover, my soul mate...

Is YOU.
