Some people believe a soulmate is only a lover
But I know different
Because my soulmate isn't someone I love

I love them, but not in the way of
Dates and kissing
Romance and mushy things

I love them in the language of ordinary things

I love them in the way of tea time talks
I love them in the way of afternoon walks

I love them the way of silly little sayings
I love them in the way of "slay, queen, slay!"

I love them in the way of Friday night sleepovers
I love them in the way of crisp apple turnovers

I love them in the way of late night calls
I love them in way of breaking my falls

I love them in the way of trying new things
I love in the way of the songs we sing 

I love them in the secrets we share
I love them in the way of of braiding hair

I love them in the way of inside jokes
I love them in the way of laughing so hard that I choke

I love them in a way I love no one else
They are my soulmate
And they are above everyone else
