Not all Soul mates Bear the Title of Lover
<p>You made it seem like our friendship had an expiration date.</p><p>Like she would swoop in, and I'd come second fiddle.</p><p>Like our bond was a placeholder for the real love of your life.</p><p><br/></p><p>To you, love meant romance.</p><p>To me, love was you: </p><p>a sacred dance between souls,</p><p>a silent symphony woven through our spirits.</p><p><br/></p><p>To me, love was friendship:</p><p>the inside jokes,</p><p>the laughter, the tears,</p><p>the unwavering belief that we would always find our way back to each other.</p><p><br/></p><p>We weren't engaging in coitus—no.</p><p>Our love didn’t require a charged touch to be emotionally charged.</p><p>But it was not enough for you.</p><p><br/></p><p>What we had was not enough.</p><p>How we were was not enough.</p><p>You let the world dictate how much you were allowed to love me.</p><p><br/></p><p>"The fear you feel if your partner is a hunter is different from the fear you feel if your friend is a hunter,"</p><p>or so you said.</p><p><br/></p><p>As if she could ever mean more to you than I did.</p><p><br/></p><p>I wish I could hate you.</p><p>I wish I could look you in the eye and choose romance over us.</p><p>But I could never.</p><p><br/></p><p>I wish I could despise you,</p><p>say "fuck it,"</p><p>and walk away.</p><p>Alas, you have me in a chokehold.</p><p><br/></p><p>I engraved you in my heart and mind;</p><p>you penciled me in with your breath.</p><p><br/></p><p>I thought we were on the same wavelength.</p><p>I know now I would always come second, or third, or fourth - </p><p>never bonded by blood or ring,</p><p>our connection invisible, intangible,</p><p>meaningless to the world beyond us.</p><p><br/></p><p>And so, when The One sashayed into your life,</p><p>you stopped calling as much</p><p>because what would people say,</p><p>if they thought you loved me more than her?</p><p><br/></p><p>When The One catwalked into your existence,</p><p>you stopped leaning on me.</p><p>She was in the car of life with you;</p><p>I was only cruising alongside,</p><p>close, but never close enough.</p><p><br/></p><p>I hope you realize how much I love you</p><p>because not all soulmates bear the title of lover.</p><p>And I hope you realize how I've come to see you:</p><p>No longer as my best friend but as a person who let the world dictate to him. </p><p><br/></p>
