Someone Who is Real

Sometime ago

You told me you would come to find me

You didn’t

But I never forgot thee

You always lived in my memory.

We both met other people

Fell in love

Got married

But those loves,

They fell apart

You were always deep

In my simple heart.

I had an opportunity

To come home for once

I saw you

& fell once more

Yet I was afraid

Because of all that was being said.

You said once, “don’t marry that man.”

I said,  “he gives me something you never can.”

I never once forgot you, however.

And for the future could not, no matter how I endeavored.

Despite the past

And pondering whether we would even last

I sought you.

And darned if it wasn’t a two-way street

We touched each other’s souls

Whenever we would meet

Never any deceit.

Now I see

How much I truly meant

And how far back affection really goes

I didn’t realize…

That our hearts had crashed long ago…

There’s significance in you.

You are the one I need

Oh M, you are to me,

What he should have been

But things happen the way they do.

And sometimes you have a soulmate or two…

Before you find someone who is Real.

I love you.
