I could never think of you
as my better half,
or even that I was yours;
because then that would diminish
or value one another.
I could never think that of you.
I believe, you are my equal.
As though,when we bumped into eachother
my soul whispered
“There you are, I’ve missed you.”
I felt every ache of longing leave my body.
When you came around,
I was faced
with an entirely new side of myself.
All of my senses have been awakened.
You, are a critical part of me –
like the limbs and bones that construct me
& hold me together.
You, complete me
in ways that are indescribable.
We, are one another’s
counterpart.
