Beautiful Soul

Beautiful smile
Beautiful energy
Beautiful self
Beautiful soul

My eyes lit up today when you walked towards me
My heart raced as we walked closer to each other
My palms dripping with fear and anxiety
My arms reached out to you

The grip of your hug tranquilized me
The firmness of your hold took me back
The smell of your skin took me there again
The feel of your lips on my neck as we hugged

Tears welled up in my eyes
Sweat dripping down my body
Fear overcame my entire soul
Knowing I had let you go

My life was a mess
My purpose was lost
Yet I found my way
I am too late

You found another man
You have a better plan
I will never again be with you
I know now that we are over

I will never get over you
As you have gotten over me
I had to take this path to grow
But you didn’t wait for me

I put you on a pedestal
I always looked up to you
For you I owe my change
For you I want us again

I will always be here for you
I will wait forever if I have to
I know I belong to you
You complete me, beautiful soul
