Soul Mates
Soul Mates
I remember the day the world fell away
as you walked into this place
Our eyes locked from across the room
and our souls felt the embrace.
It could almost seem like love at first sight
Our connection was deep from the start
I thought it was wrong this feeling so strong
but if felt so right to my heart.
Both of us were tied to another
our union could never be right
Each day you stopped in just to say hi
but soon you started calling at night.
You said our feelings must be addressed
as they certainly could not be denied
But I told you they must be suppressed
to our spouses, we don't want to lie.
Time moved on as it always does
you still came in every day
We remained friends just because
for now, there was no other way.
After a couple of years, I was promoted
my work was at a new place
But it never changed those feelings I felt
when again, I looked in your face.
You walked in with that smile so bright
I couldn't believe that after so long
all of those feelings still felt so right
that my heart sang a happy song.
My marriage was over, I had to move on
when I told you, you started to smile
I wondered where your mind had gone
then you confessed, yours had been done for awhile.
After all this time, we made some plans
to have our first date that night
When you placed a kiss on my waiting lips
We both knew ~ our souls fell in love at first sight.
