Soul Mate

He returned, the answer to my prayers

With little more
Than an innocent greeting
You waltzed back in
With my heart in tow
I didn't dare hope
You would return it to me
I had walked away
Too many times

Battered and bruised
My heart trailed behind
You never even knew

Happy to just be
In your presence
Gleefully I embraced your words
Holding onto them
Never knowing when
You might slip away
Having tired of me

Grateful that you did not hate me
With the words I could muster
I was finally able
To feebly explain
My abhorrent actions
All those moons ago
And pitifully I apologized
For my unspeakable acts

To my surprise
You accepted me back
With open arms
I do not deserve you
You have every right
To hate me
Yet you still love me

I have never stopped
Loving you
You are my soul mate
My one true love
I will never leave you
Unless asked to

I love you with all
Of my heart
Of my soul
Of my entire being
I am truly
The luckiest woman ever
You are my soul mate
