My Soulmate

We first met in our yoga class
Neither of us realising that our lives were about to change forever

How did it happen?
That connection, that once in a lifetime feeling

She is beautiful, not just surface beauty, but beauty from deep within

It’s like a dance, we start slowly, nothing else mattering. Then, like the tango, it starts to tell our story. Yes, it’s becoming ours, we own it

Feel the passion, the honesty
To be alive to such feeling
Painful at times, yet so much pleasure

No, it’s not easy.
The highs and the lows, the ecstasy and the pain
Like the ebb and flow of the ever moving seas

But we were meant to be together my love

Real life? Ha, what is real I ask you?
This is our reality. When we are together, we both know what is real. The world around us stops spinning, even just for a while

The alternative? To keep our souls in a cage. Locked away from the harsh light of our true feelings
Is that what we want?

And it’s there, ever present. That soulmate love

Because we are meant to be together my love

When we’re apart it’s like part of my heart is missing. Waiting, waiting until it can be be pieced back together again

I’ve discovered new feelings, feelings that I didn’t even know existed.
The intensity, the passion, it’s what I’ve been waiting for all my life

But so many questions

Am I strong enough? Can I make the hard decisions that can enable us to be together?
Can I be brave?
For my soulmate, yes, and yes again!

She fillls my dreams. She is my dreams, both when I’m awake and when I’m aasleep

So, what is she like I hear you ask?
Sensual, in a way I’ve never known in any other woman
She is passionate and true
She holds such depth of love, just waiting to be freed from the prison of her heart
She cares so much, sometimes too much, but it’s what makes her who she is and I love her for it
She wants to be the best version of herself, but I love her just the way she is
And she is scared, we both are, not least at the depth of the feelings we experience
But, we’re soulmates, and that’s what ultimately matters most

And I love every part of her, with feelings so deep I don’t know when they’ll reach the bottom.

And we are meant to be together my love

This isn’t the love of the romance novels or the magazines. No, it’s raw and real. Of course it will have its challenges. What doesn’t that’s worth fighting for?

But I believe this love will grow to a maturity that will carry both of us through the times ahead

The challenge to us is to love as passionately and non-traditionally as our hearts ask us to.
My heart is asking

Can you answer yes?

Not forgetting the world, but making our own story on our own terms

Let us fly high like eagles over the mountain tops
The problems of the world left far below.

Let your love flow

Because we are meant to be together my love.
