Soulmate...
I want you to be the face I awaken to
And the voice that puts me to sleep
I want your trust, honesty, and secrets to keep
You know I hate to see you go
But I love to watch you leave
But, it is what it is when it needs to be
I respect the fact that you'd never lie to me
Even if it makes me weak and depressed
Your true feelings you'll express With no discretion
But that doesn't stop me from missing the affection
Living with regrets, and wanting that connection
I want to sooth your mind and your flesh
Endure your pain and you stress
Just to obsess the correct end of our reflection
When i stare into your eyes, and take you into my arms.
And you shine like the charm on a bracelet
For when we run out of patience and decide to have babies
And i'll be able to stare and compare her beauty to your face
But until that day you'll be the only star in my skies
And on the day my disguise is removed and my identity revealed
You will have truly experienced me
You compliment, and complete me
Our lives are opposite and intriguing
Yet the same and relieving that if you let me
I can understand why your heart beats the way it does
And know the reason why you decided to show me love
When I was no more than I am now
And that you live by the last 3 digits of my life
And you ignite as i burst and combust into flames
Torching the pain and leaving those lives behind us
And every year father time will remind us that we are not easily replaced
I want you to be the voice I hear when i awaken
And the face I see before slumber
I remember the day I got your number
Even though it was on some friend shit
I couldn't pretend shit... I wanted more
And I was relieved to know you felt the same
So I continued to let you pick my brain
As long as I could remain and retain the decision to ever walk away
I want you to speak the thoughts that enlighten my mornings
I want you to be the body that puts me to sleep.
I need you to know that you were made just for me
And I hope you can relate
I'd always regret being the ex to my soulmate.
