Soulmate
The first time our eyes met
you looked into my soul
You saw past the exterior
and saw all that I kept hidden
My heart and soul lay before you
Waiting for you to make a bid
I looked into your eyes
and we share the inner pain
of loneliness and hurt
time and again
I touched your paw
You touched my heart
You are always in my mind
We are never apart
The walls you've built around you
cannot hide the pain
Because I can see inside you
And help you love again.
