soul-mate

You are neither my friend
nor are you my partner
beyond all that earth contains
you are my soul's fodder
you are my soul-mate

my soul has been planning
this meeting with you
much before you and I
were born here
much before we met
much before we knew
how each other looked
before we met in person

On this earth, here now
we did not hold each other
we did not let lips meet
but still we were intimate
in spite of the distance
we were one, single being
and today when we are far
and we may not meet again
we are still connected
through the window that
goes beyond my heart to yours
through our souls

In this life or after many
thereafter, or till time ends
this connect will remain
my soul will keep looking
again until it finds you
I may love others
but I can never have
another one to replace you
as partner of my soul
I may have friends
but none of them
can be as close to me
as we were, me and you
