Soul Mates Forever

Soulmates Forever
For my husband, my best friend, my always

We met when the world was still wide and new,
In hallways of lockers and laughter and blue.
Just kids finding jokes in the folds of the day,
Not knowing love had already found its way.

Through dances and dreams, through growing and years,
Through triumphs and troubles and teenage tears—
We stayed side by side, hand in hand, hearts aligned,
A best friend, a soulmate, forever entwined.

Twenty-one years as husband and wife,
But truly, we’ve lived a far fuller life.
From junior high smiles to vows we once spoke,
We built something no time, no sorrow could soak.

Now silence sits where your voice used to be,
And nights feel too long without you next to me.
But love doesn’t end—it deepens, it stays,
It echoes through minutes and brightens my days.

I still feel you near, in the smallest of things—
In songs that you loved, in the flutter of wings.
You are every soft breeze, each star overhead,
Not gone, just shifted—you live on instead.

My heart holds our story, our laughter, our years,
The whispers, the glances, the joy and the tears.
And though death may have taken your body away,
Our souls are forever. That will never fray.
