Soul Mate

A soul mate isn’t someone you just fall in love with, 

But someone who’ll always be there to catch you when you fall. 

A soul mate isn’t someone who just lends a shoulder for you to cry on, 

But someone who’ll always be there to cry with you.

A soul mate isn’t just someone you enjoy having around, 

But someone who makes you feel lost and incomplete when they’re not with you.

A soul mate isn’t just someone who can be everything you need, 

But someone who wants to love you more than you’ve ever known.

A soul mate isn’t just someone with whom you connect on every level,

But someone who’s everything you need and so much more. 

A soul mate isn’t just someone without whom you can’t live, 

But someone without whom your whole world would crumble.

You are my soul mate

Because there is no me without you.

You are my soul mate

Because when I’m not with you I can’t breathe.

You are my soul mate

Because when you are not by my side I can’t sleep.

You are my soul mate

Because with every sunrise I love you more and more each day.

You are my soul mate

Because when I look into your eyes I see all of my dreams come true.

You are my soul mate

Because you are my sunshine after the rain.

You are my soul mate

Because every second without you, feels like an eternity.

You are my soul mate

Because there is no point in living if you’re not by side.

You are my soul mate

Because every time you leave you take a piece of me with you.

You are my soul mate

Because every time I hear your name my heart skips a beat.

You are my soul mate

Because your touch and your caress make me feel brand new.

You are my soul mate

Because your love is all I’ll ever need to make it through.

You are my soul mate,

And there is no one else I’d rather give all my love to,

Than to the one who holds the key to my heart.
