Are we soulmates?

With each passing day my heart goes more empty,
The numbness is slowly evading,

The space is hollow and ready to fill in,

But back of my mind my wishes still roam,

How it would feel if you were laying in my arms,

If I hugged you tight would you hugs me tighter,

If I kissed your cheeks would you look at me and smile,

While we watch tv on the couch playing into a warm embrace,

Does your heart skip a beat as do mine,

And our bodies slumber our souls intertwine,

But reality is that I am nothing to you, I am no one,

Tears still roll down my cheeks,

I am surprised as I thought I had healed,

I smile realizing I am neither hollow nor numb,

And with each step away from you I breathe a new,

The heart still longs for your embrace but doesn’t bleed,

A distant memory is not on repeat now,

My actions are not seeking a response anymore,

I may not be content but I am comfortable in my solitude.
