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.

ALWAYS nice to see you my friend and thank you for the tip on the slight arrangement and always being a good friend :) You are very much appreciated.

I know you can't see me but I am giving you a standing ovation. :) This was fantastic Lenna and I can definitely relate to this. You wrote this so well that I was lost in the poem and actually forgot I was reading. I could see this, I know this feeling. Wow, really good my friend. Island life seems to have really stirred up your creative juices.

Thank you so much my friend :) :) I didn't mean for it to be so long, but the story just kept flowing onto the page until it was all there. You may be right about island-outdoor life, although I do write less these days with so much to do. I am thrilled by your generous review ... your are so kind to me :)
