5. Whole

One of my favorite things about us
is the fact that every time we hug,
we melt into each other's bodies.

;

I like to think about that Greek myth about soulmates:

"Zeus split us in half, and we were destined to walk the Earth searching for our other half."

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

I'm sure you understand where I'm getting to.

I like to think that this is the reason why our bodies match perfectly.

I like to think that we're two little puzzle pieces
that, obviously, match flawlessly.

With you, I feel complete.

You're the missing piece I didn't even know I was searching for.

You're the other half that Zeus was talking about.

You're my other half, the piece that I never had.

You're my soulmate, and I'm yours.
I've never been so sure about something.

And maybe this is why

every time we touch, hug, or kiss,

our bodies align as if made for each other.

to my soulmate, g.
