I finally found someone who
Loves me
Understands me
Knows what I like
Gives me what I need
Puts me first
Makes time for me
Stimulates my mind
Sets my soul free
Nurtures my spirit
Gets my creative juices flowing
Challenges me
Surprises me
Impresses me
Brings me joy
Catches my tears
Accepts me as I am
Stands up for me
Pushes me to be better
Picks me up when I’m down
Calms me down when I get too high
Checks me out ‘cause I’m so fly
Laughs at my jokes
Cracks me up
Shows me off
Knows my worth
Sees the limitless potential in me
And isn’t afraid of it
I have been searching for this person my entire life
I’ve had this list written up in my mind for a long time
Longing and looking in all the wrong places
“Where is this life partner hiding?”
I would ask the Universe
Until I realised that
The person who can give me all these things
I will not find out there
Until I find her in here
She is Me
I am She
Together we move through this life
My amazing life partner and I
The One I have been longing for
How did I expect to find someone to walk with me through life out there?
When I couldn’t even bear to walk it with myself in here?
I used to be afraid to walk alone
But if I think about it
I have always been alone
Even throughout the times I tried to latch onto something that didn’t belong
Just to relieve my solitude
I was still alone
Never lonely
Because I was always with me
But essentially alone
Even though I had friends and family
Who loved me through heartache
The pain was felt alone
The tears were cried in the dark stillness of the night
Alone
Though I was not lonely
Am I afraid to roam this earth alone?
Sure I am
But I don’t stop walking
Although
Sometimes I need to rest
Or run
Or fly
Or swim
But mostly I walk
At my own pace
Sometimes long distances
Sometimes in circles
Sometimes I jump hurdles
I stroll
I scurry
I scramble
Sometimes I even lay across the road for a while in sheer exhaustion
Wondering: if someone ran me over
Would I become free from this longing?
But even in those times
The will to keep moving lifts me up
And I continue
Somehow I am always in motion
Like the ocean
I create waves
Everywhere I go
I just have to keep going
Anywhere
Everywhere
Keep growing
Keep walking
Keep driving
Keep thriving
Alone
But never lonely
Because I am always with me
Maybe the longing for another to share this life with will subside
Maybe one day
There will be someone out there
But for now
I still have the one in here
She is I
I am She
Together we keep moving through this life
Alone
But never lonely
Just me and my amazing life partner
The one who has always been there
Today
I vow to love, honour & be there for her
Even though I walk alone
I am never lonely
