Soulmate

Soulmate

You are cool, that is why I am a fool.

I want you to be happy, with or without me.

If you are already in love, then all is good,

Because all I know is, if you trust,

Another soul, you will never grow old.

You will be forever young at heart

And all because you are loved and in love; so…

…If you are alone, then that is unnecessary;

You have always got me if you are in need,

Of someone to listen, or someone to speak,

Or maybe you would just like some company as you enjoy a cup of tea?

One sugar for me please.

So how are you on this glorious day!?

No clouds in the sky will be bringing us rain,

So everything will be ok.

Why so glum, chum?

You should smile again,

I liked it so much the last time I saw it

And for you to be unhappy is such a shame,

When really there is no need; or is there?

I do not know, but I would like to understand,

If you would care to share.

Here, have a biscuit.

What time is it?

It’s time you told me what it is, that I can do to make you smile.

You say you are in need of three wishes?

Then do not worry my friend, I have a genie on speed-dial.

Let me just give him a quick ring…

(Ring, ring…ring ring.)

It seems he is not answering.

I guess he is off listening,

To other people wishing,

They could be as beautiful as you are.

Ah, there it is!

That smile of yours,

That I had been waiting for.

I knew it was in there somewhere.

Like I always say “You will always have someone,”

Who would like to care,

If only you would let me.

Excuse me.

“Hello? Sorry I am busy. Call me back in about sixty years.”

Sorry about that; some people will just not hear.

I only waste my time on beautiful souls;

Those cheating people, I leave alone,

Because they do not light up my life like you do.

So, anyway, tell me more about you…

What interests you? And what do I need to become,

To be somebody that you could maybe lean upon with love?

No promises, I only wish for it,

But you know what ‘he’ is like; never listening,

But anyhow, how can I improve to become what you want?

What do you need from me? What must be done!?

I will sit here for a moment and give you time to think it through…

Could you ever feel for me, what I will always feel for you?

Oh, you do not know,

Well then, let me illuminate your mind;

Open your eyes wide and read my soul

And hopefully one day,

Your soulmate, you too shall find.
