How natural we stand here in this comfortable silence staring into each other's eye.

You see now, without me even pointing it out, that its always been this way. From the moment we met nothing seemed forced or unwanted.

We were pulled toward each other, pulled together.

It's undeniable and irresistible.

You grab my hand, our fingers intertwining like they've done so many times before but this time it's different; there's something different in your gaze, your smile, your presence, and I know what it is.

I've always known; I've just been waiting for you to see it, fight it, deny it, and ultimately accept it.

Looking into your eyes I now know there has been and will be no other.

All that stood before you were merely substitutes; people to hide the feeling of loneliness I always seemed to carry in my heart.

But seeing you here, I would gladly forsake them if it meant spending those days and moments with you.

You may not be the first, though I wish with every fiber of my being that you were, but you will always be the most important.

Soul mates were something that never seemed attainable nor existent in my eyes.

I know you've thought this too but not standing here, seeing that look in your eyes that seems to scream "You are my everything, " I feel like a fool for ever believing it not to be so.
