Soul Mates

I HAVE to explain how this 'poem' came into existence. It was the night of June 1, 2008 and I was pretty tired, and ready to go to bed. I turned off the lights and laid my head down to sleep and closed my eyes, clearing my mind of all the daily clutter that goes on up there. After a few minutes... I don't know how much time had passed... but suddenly these words started streaming through my thoughts, one right after another. At first I thought, "Oh, that's a nice thought. That's cool. I'll have to remember that and write it down in the morning." But I couldn't get it to STOP! More and more and more words were flooding my mind until finally I flipped back on the light, grabbed the nearest thing to write on and write with, and I started scribbling down the words as fast as they came to me. Suddenly, the words were done flooding my mind and I tossed the paper and pen on the floor and turned off the light and went back to sleep. The next morning, this is what I found:

Soul Mates

A soul mate is someone
Who will make sense of your life,
Whether you want them to or not.
Your soul mate is someone
Who will push you to your limits
And inspire you to be a better person.
That same soul mate will help you
See the potential in yourself.
A soul mate can lift you up
From the depths of despair
No matter how much time or distance
Has separated you from each other.
Your soul mate will see the light within you
When all you can see is darkness.
A soul mate never gives up hope in you
And they always have faith in your dreams
Even if you lose your way.
A soul mate never holds back
And never backs down, especially
When you need a kick in the pants.
A soul mate is a best friend who
Could only become your worst enemy
If you decide that's the way it is...
Because your soul mate is always
The one person in the world
That you are most vulnerable to...
Because your soul mate knows your heart,
Has heard your innermost thoughts,
And seen you for who you really are.
If you are blessed enough
To find your soul mate...
Hold on and never let go.


So... I guess my question for all of you guys who might be reading this... do you know who your soul mate is?
