“This pain”

Why this crushing pain?

You are with me … You are within me

You Love me … You Care for me …

And yet every night I cry …

Every morning I wake in pain …

A heartache like I’ve never known.

Is it because I realize that you are The One for me;

That now, having found you, we must someday be together

— and then, like all Soulmates, thereafter say our goodbyes?

Or is it a faint foreshadow from my last dying breath;

when I will thank God for my life,

while wishing for just one more instant

of holding your hand … of holding your gaze …

of holding you close?

Or is it the realization that, though you are the One for me,

I might not be the One for you;

That, while you know what you have,

and while you are trying to Love me,

I am not what you really want?

Well, today – none of these matter,

For if I am to die, then I will die grateful

for having Loved you at all.

And if I am not to be your One, then I would be the Tower

from which you gaze & seek your Soulmate.
