Soulmate
I have married two men in my life
And I loved neither
I have loved two men in my life
And I couldn't marry either
The relationship with each
Fleeting though it may have been
Was magical and whimsical
Like sparks floating in the wind
Our souls linked together
In this life and perhaps another
One lives out a life in my dreams
without seeing him for many years
The other still a fresh memory
Provokes many fresh tears
I know they are not mine
To hold or to long for
But deep in my heart a memory
Is protected by a padlocked door
Let go and let love
Is what they always say
Let go and let live
Is the lesson I obey
For these are kindred spirits
Or at least I pray
Just a glimpse of my soul mate
And how he'll be one day
For in all my pain and agony
I have lost myself and others
But my journey is just beginning
Because I know there is another
