soul mates
I was wandering thru life, wanting to be a better person but continuously falling short again and again. I search for what I know not. I feel a deep yearning for something more in my life, but I never seem to be able to find it and grab hold of it.

Time passes by and my heart hurts for missing what I am lacking. A piece of me is missing. My heart does not feel whole. My mind begins to shatter like a vase dropped to the floor. I can not think straight. I just feel the deep need to fill the missing gaps.

I went to school, while I excelled far beyond my peers, it was such a hollow victory. Beating the competition on the scholastic field was too easy and it never touched the deep spots in my being. I learned various items of use, and saw the world thru better eyes, but all the more I could see I knew all the more I was missing something very important.

I got a good job and traveled the world. I saw many lands and many people. I experienced the architecture marvels and diverse societies of many lands. The whole in my soul was still there. The yearning for the one thing that would fill me body and soul just was remaining aloft and just beyond my grasp.

I turned to religion. I learned about my God, learned about other gods and religions. I found my true religion and developed a very personal relationship with Jesus, but this did not fill the void I am questing for the answer to. God did fill the spiritual hole in my life and I dearly thank him for his love and grace, but I must keep penetrating the mystery of this quandary eating at my core. I must find my missing life.

Then one evening a woman came into my life. She was everything missing in my life, she made all the wrong right, all the bad good, and all the loneliness into the brightest love ever. I met and fell in love with my soul mate. She made my life worth living. She made every everyday experience new and exciting. She saved my life. And I will spend every minute of my life loving her and working hard to make her as happy as she has made me.

Amy, I love you with all my mind, body, and soul. I am yours forever.
