comfortable silence- a collection of poems

to the soulmate i haven't found yet

hi.

i love you. yes, i know

i don't know you.

but i love you. i love your eyes,

and your smile,

and the way you take your coffee.

i love how you do your hair.

i love how you love me,

even when mine is a mess.

i'm sorry i haven't found you yet.

i'm trying, i promise.

i wake up, alone.

i drink coffee, alone.

i work alone, i eat alone, i sleep alone,

i. am. alone.

and i'd give anything. anything,

to be just a day closer to meeting you.

i wonder if i'll know when i do.

will my breath catch, will my heart stop?

will i turn back to check that you're real,

will my soul urge me to follow you?

or will i keep walking. silent. swift.

passing up a million memories,

 a future.

i stay up late and talk to the moon.

i ask that he pulls the tides, and bring you closer to me.

but all he does is turn away,

and i

yet again

find myself alone.
