Soul mate

When I saw you some time ago, I knew something was different, that this person would be interesting. You're a fascinating creature, an interesting piece. When you held my hand, the phrase "fit like a glove" fit that moment perfectly. Talking with you made me ignore that I have slept barely 2 hours last night and with you there was no dull moment, no boring space. When we spoke, I felt that you had suddenly opened my mind and read it. You used different words but we had the same thoughts. The words I needed to say need not be said any more because you had said them. Connections, chains unbroken, kindred souls, soul mates...

I will forever hold that moment in my heart and mind. Thank God there was no lover's moon or our connection would have been overpowered by rising emotions. There was no pressure to be different, to be someone else, to have credentials because we were in a different league. Our standards were of different class, our worlds had suddenly formed their own separate bubble yet we were still on earth.

Beside you was peace. There was no sexual tension, no electricity that sparked, no words that burned. There was only calm amidst the storm. There was a shore beyond the strong unpredictable waves. And even if there was awkwardness, that awkwardness stemmed from the feeling that this should be wrong but it felt not.

I'm thankful that you answered my Why's.
