Looking for



I am looking for you, if you:
are happy when I am happy
are sad when I am sad
are strong when I am weak
are restless when I am in trouble

You are the person of my choice, if you:
cry when I cry
laugh when I laugh
stand in my need
accept my misdeed

You are the darling of my dream, if you:
understand me without speech
trust me without breach
appreciate my effort
have a good rapport

You are my life long friend, if you:
walk with me when I walk
talk with me when I talk
offer your shoulder to lean upon
peep into my heart thereon

You are my perfect soulmate, if you:
back me up when I am down
listen to me when I am upset
are in tears when my eyes are wet  
are not angry when I am wrong

I am forever yours, if :
my breath is your breath
my bone is your bone
my flesh is your flesh
my soul is your soul
