soulmates

they say
the right person for you
is probably at some place obvious
at this very moment
waiting just to find you.

somehow
I’d rather have him walking under the purple evening sky
his fingers tracing the inside of the wrist
of this girl by his side
(her skin like porcelain and eyes rich with love)
trying to hold a conversation
that finally ends with a soft sigh
and a careless thought
tugging at the back of his mind
resurfacing every now and then
saying
‘What am I missing?’
