Before you, I never believed in soulmates.

I didn’t really even know what a soulmate was to be honest. Was it someone who could finish the end of my sentence? Was it someone who knew exactly what I would order at a restaurant? Was it someone who could list my top 10 favorite songs?

Not really.

Since I met you I’ve learned that a soulmate is much more complex than that.

A soulmate is someone who can empathize with me until I don’t feel alone anymore. A soulmate is someone who can make me laugh until I end up crying on the floor. A soulmate is someone who can make my heart smile. A soulmate is someone who can make me so happy and full of joy that there’s no room for pain to overbear me. A soulmate is someone whose love consumes me, someone whose laughter fills my head, and someone whose touch eases every nerve in my body.

A soulmate is someone who has the other missing piece of our soul. Someone whose energy and aura is so strong that it instantly attracts us to them.

Some people believe in soulmates. Others don’t. I am one of the lucky ones who does.

You are my soulmate.

Since the day I first laid eyes on you, I saw a light within you that drew me towards you. Your light is what has saved me on days where I just want to give up. Your light is what inspires me to be a better person day in and day out. Your light is what motivates me to roam through the darkness until I reach my own light.

You have given me the missing pieces of myself. You have completed me in ways I could’ve never completed myself on my own. And for that, I, thank you.
