I met my soul mate today
our eyes met
for but a brief moment
as we went our opposite ways.
I can never recall
or discern how he looks
if his eyes are filled with laughter
or are dark and serious,
though I have met him often.
Every day of my life
he and I
we go through this dance
no way of knowing who the other is
never willing to ask.
So we go in this endless circle
everyday he changes
while I am always the same.
I am always searching
hoping
and praying
that one day he will be the right person.
Then, maybe, we can begin
the dance of two sole mates
wearing their converse low tops
more in love then they will ever be.

I'm lookin for the man in the moon
With stars for eyes
and a crater of a smile
The magic that left so long ago
with the first steps that ended it all

Please, I cry
Take me away
Free my soul
From this gut wrenching guilt
overpowering me
For not loving
and not knowing
whether to choose his happiness
over mine
Give me some peace
for I am only a child
in the eyes of this world
Even with sixteen long
and unhappy years
to prove the world wrong
Please, hold me
comfort me with your love
My Father
Save me from myself

So I'll just sing
To the beat of my steps
As I put some miles between us
And all our unhappiness
