To My Soul Mate
You laugh at all the right places in the movie
The places that make me laugh too
When you are not here, I am not me.
I do not pine for you, but I wonder.
Are you safe? Are you happy? Are you enjoying yourself?
Your smile makes my heart glad that I am me.
Your eyes have flecks of gold that pull the gold out of mine.
I was slow to recognize how much I loved you, but you were quick.
You recognized our connection almost instantly.
I look at the door, wondering when you will be home.
Because I cannot relax and be me, until you are here to be you.
