Life Mates

When I look into your eyes

I see the soul mate of my life

Partner to my heart

We are never far apart

And the twinkle in your eye

Mirrors mine

And that smile upon your face

Welcomes me to a better place

Partner to my soul

Together we are whole

The tension in your lips

Echoes mine

You share your darkest thoughts

We as one share moments fraught

Partner of my life

By each other’s side

As tears roll down your cheek

So do mine

From the time I first set eyes

Upon the glory of your prize

Partner on the trail

Lives together could not fail

Brows furrowed running deep

Mirror mine

Lost destinations on the road

Lost opportunities unfold

Partner me forever?

Let us be together?

Forever mine?

And as I sit across from you

I know you feel the way I do

Partners we cannot be

Remaining true and free

Souls intertwined
