A life unlived

Have you ever dreamed of a soul that answered your heart's call?
Or have you lived resigned that it does not exist at all?
A soul approached, saw deep within me, and came closer yet.
One who made me remember, one I could not forget.
Is it not worth it to risk everything to turn fear into trust?
The alchemy that could eradicate loneliness
Is the balm to soothe my broken heart
I never thought it could be strictly positive
The love and admiration of another
I never knew such mutuality
A connection of increasing fervor with every encounter
Do you believe there is someone out there who can
clearly see, just what you need, and respond in the most perfect way?
How comforting to find intimacy, after so much distance
What a thrill to finally feel passion
What a delight to find another to play with, to create
And the romance that shone a light over a dull horizon
Has now turned into anticipation
A dance of peace and calm and balance that brings only satisfaction
How tender and soft the vulnerable moments could be
How true the friendship
How difficult the parting
Unforgettable and everlasting.
