Soul Mated.
would've been sharing my heart—
but I held my emotions
fearing you'd feel
too connected;
would've been losing control—
but I held my feelings
so your heart wouldn't
feel subjected…
to be all I truly wanted us to be;
so somewhere, somehow
I convinced myself
you weren't the one for me.
would've been baring my soul—
but I held my religion
hoping you wouldn't
feel soul mated.
would've been offering my love—
but I held my hand
knowing you'd then
feel obligated…
to be all I dreamed we could be;
so somewhere, somehow
I held my tongue
on speaking our love's prophecy—
until God spoke your name.
