If soulmates exist
I think it's an awful thing
How one person can own me
And have me know
There is no other
That fit quite like them

That every embrace
Just won't do
Not quite like theirs
And every breath I take
Without them
Is not quite the same
Not as full-filling

I mean think of the horror
Of comparing each moment
To each shared with them
Each laugh not quite as hearty
Each kiss not quite as breathless
Each encounter just not enough
For you could have more with them

I just can't comprehend
How nobody else will do
Not quite enough
So in everyone
I spend the moments
Looking for them
Waiting for them
Wondering if I passed them
Maybe in the street
Or in a bus somewhere

So if soulmates exist
I am afraid
I don't want to meet mine
