Soulmate

here my soul calls out to yours
waiting for you to open the door 
and somewhere deep down in your core
I’m sensing that you’re looking for more

what is love? who really knows
because as they say, anything goes
maybe it’s a thorny rose
maybe it’s a heart that froze

all I know is I’ve been waiting
I’ve given up on online dating
but this much is very clear
i feel that you’re very near

I wonder how we’ll end up meeting
I’m thinking about our first greeting
the universe hears me pleading
“where are you?” I keep repeating

I’ll try to let down my guard
but my heart has been pretty scarred
beaten up like an old birthday card 
thrown around with no regard

but that’s okay because you know why?
no matter how many times I’ve cried
or how many times I listened to lies
this sh*t really only made me wise

I think that’s all I have to say
at least til I meet you anyway
I’ll wait for you to open the door
and tell me to finally be yours
