Soul Mate


I am here waiting for my soul mate.

Posters put up in my dreams for the fairy tale characters.

I even told the stars all about, so when they align;

They might bring you to my land.

Searching for that certain someone, only one, meant just for me.

A bipolar spirit that has both freedom and responsibility.

A soul that is driven by honesty and kindness.

I am not caught up in this world so what you look like will not matter.

You will be beautiful to me as long as you are free like a child.

Please come and laugh with me; spread your smile all around.

Sing to the sky with me and dance like it is midnight.

Let us sneak out of our own home to go to theaters at 3 a.m.

Consider every part of life as an adventure.

Give me the key to the attic in your mind.

Let me see both your tears and your grins.

Open up your souls and let us have conversations not meant for everyone.

Tell me every dream and nightmares that lurks under your skin.

Be curious with me and crave adventure.

Let us blindly choose places to visit in every bookstore.

Let us enter the old thrift store to find a mysterious treasure.

Let us swim in a surface with a reflection of the stars.

Wake me up early so we can run across the sunrise shore.

Oh honey, please come and find me from wherever you are.

I will wait for you here.

I will wait for you, my soul mate.

    Aw, thank you, Jojo. I know I have plenty of time left but I often can’t help but daydream. It is such a beautiful thought that one day I will meet someone who will make me smile every morning. That my purpose will become him. Maybe I’m a hopeless romantic but ya know…got have a bit of fun in this crazy world.

    Thank you!! That means so much to me. You inspire me with every kind word you give. I’m a huge daydreamer and sometimes I still have to sit back and take it in that I have readers motivating me to KEEP daydreaming. To keep the dreams coming. It’s amazing really. A blessing almost.

    Not with me. I believe with all those that create. And to know your not alone in this world of wanting to express so much of your soul, I feel that is what the inspiration is all along. Knowing that you have a purpose in creation and others can understand.

    Thank you for the nomination, Jojo. Truly appreciate it. I need to catch up on my nominations. I couldn’t be more grateful for all the support. I am excited to answer your questions and love your creative idea to nominate everyone. It is often difficult to nominate by choosing only a few from so many creative souls. Keep on inspiring always. 💙✨😊🌻

    Love it! Good things come to those who wait. This was worded fantastically: “I am not caught up in this world so what you look like will not matter.”

    Love that you appreciated the line. I find that most important when searching for someone to love for the rest of your life. Looks truly don’t matter. It’s what’s inside of them. It sound cliché but I truly believe it.

    I think it’s true, too. Attitude/personality is really something that can change the attractiveness of a person. The older I get the more I realize it’s really the inner beauty that keeps us close to family, friends, etc.
