Soul Mate

In life's travels people are met and left, passages into ones heart.
They leave pieces of themselves, and make you what you are.
One day your destiny enters your life, he is the spirit that truly completes you.
He is the one being in all of time who is your soul mate.
With him you feel and see beyond, all seen before.
He fills your heart and soul with joy, his words reach to depths untouchable by anyone else.
Your body reacts to his thoughts, they touch you as if by magic.
Your soul mate invades your every sense, your very being.
Penetrating and entwining himself into the little recesses of your spirit, hence closed to everyone but yourself.
Somehow he enters, with little resistance from you, to settle down and make a home in those little caverns within you.
Always there to protect and comfort, embedded for all eternity within you.
He alone has made you whole and complete.
You remember his presence from the past, he secures himself to you in this lifetime, and he will revisit and present you the gift of love once again in coming lives.
Your souls bound together for all eternity, till time ceases to exist.
He is the other half of you, he completes you,
He makes you all that you are, and all that you will ever be.
He is your soul mate.
