I think I saw my Soulmate on the street The other night. I was walking along the sidewalk That was dripping with rainwater. The night was humming with Its dark secrets. And then suddenly I saw him. I felt all the heavy Decay and dead matter Fall off my shoulders And when I looked down, I saw that it all had Turned into feathers. Millions of pictures flooded My mind of what we could be If only we knew each other's names. I felt a joy deep inside places I'm usually too afraid to even acknowledge. Like my heart. And my soul. My stomach was full of butterflies. My heart was full of sparks that I need you to make into a Passionate fire. You passed with a warm smile And suddenly I melted. I should've melted into your arms, but They weren't open, waiting to Catch me. But it's okay. I don't blame you. I know it's my fault. I know I should open up more. But I'm afraid. When I saw you, I wasn't afraid, not even for One second. I smiled back. And said one word that made Your smile open wider than I ever thought possible. "Hi." I'd like to thank you, Soulmate. I don't know your name, Your age, Your favorite song. But you still somehow made me feel a way I've never felt before. I've never felt such joy. I've never felt so brave. I've never felt like I could touch the stars Before I saw you on that Rainy street. --- JMB
