Soul mates, soul friends and being at one with it all.

Hey there.... wait, don't run off..
Was that your soul that just touched mine?
Or am I confused...
Did I feel something that didn't exist?
Or is that you don't know that was what just happened..
I mean, I get it, I do...
Sometimes a soul connection does not come from a place you wanted it to.
It does not fit with what happens in your head.
In your dreams,
In your perfect scenario.
I'm not what you expected in a soul mate,
And that is fine, I am OK with it...
You're not what I expected either.
It's just that I wanted you to know that I felt it for both of us,
And if that is the way it is, then so be it.
I can be the caretaker of our friendship.
I can be the patient one who waits for you to be comfortable with it.
Or not....
I will always keep that door open for you.
Because you matter to me, because you have been there for me,
because I wanted to allow you to be there and you were.
And because I want you to know that I would happily return the favour,
that you can turn to me with anything and you can trust me with it.
Do not be confused, I expect nothing..
Don't think that soul mate means I expect something you can't give,
that is not what being a soul mate is about....
It's about being at one with someone, understanding them,
being aware of who they are and loving them unconditionally for it.
Without thought for reward or gain, just caring, just because...
Because we *know* each other, because we've known each other before
And because we will know each other again in other lives than this.
I care for you, I like you, love you for who you are without expecting any return on my investment..
You are special.
