The Missing Puzzle Piece

When you find a soulmate

The warmth spreads throughout you

a lifetime feeling of pure connection

Releasing yourself from unbeknownst captivity

to finally see what you needed all along

But don't blink too fast because you might miss it

You will pass it by and it will be gone in a minute

The piece that makes sense

moving around just out of reach

You go out to grasp it with love and excitement

it's too quick and pure to be caught

So you search and search everywhere for this one thing

it keeps traveling farther and farther away from you

Just when you think it will go away forever

it stays to bring you back a smile

Take a forever picture with your mind

Because it might try again to say goodbye

Every time you do the same dance

every time feels just as special

Every time feels like it could be the last

every time you do not have it there is a gaping hole

Every time it is harder to believe

You found the other puzzle piece
