Soulmates

That infinitesimal moment when a spark ignites within two completely different people.

A boy
All alone,
Depressed,
Suicidal,
Beaten.

He rarely smiles,
And never wants to,
For he has no reason.

A girl,
Surrounded by people,
Happy,
Alive,
Hopeful.

She always smiles,
And always wants to,
For it gives a reason.

They get up as one,
Moving to nowhere.
They wander about,
Unsure of their purpose.
Unsure of everything.

Their eyes meet,
And in that second,
Everything changes.

Suddenly, they are
As one,
One mind,
One body,
One spirit.

There is a word for it,
He knows.
A meaningless word.

It defies all logic,
Reason,
Clear thinking.
It brings together
Unlikely people.

And there is a word for it,
She knows.
A spectacular word.

It brings beauty
To the world,
And makes everything sing.
It embodies all minds
And brings them together.

They smile,
And greet each other.
It happens but once, after all.

There is a word for it,
They know.
And in that second,
They acknowledge it.
Soulmates.
