Soulmates

I tucked you away
gently and carefully
in the recesses
of my mind, so as
not to disturb
the memory of you

Just like a mother
tucking her child
to bed, gently
and carefully but
most of all, lovingly

I hear you sometimes
in my sleep
I call out your name
then I weep

You're a dream in my mind
that I keep
Special
Alive

My desire for you
was so great
My heart began to
elate

I really did not
anticipate
us becoming
soul mates.
