Soulmate

There’s a happiness I feel when I'm with you

A satisfying peace I never knew

And all this time, I’ve tried to run away

But now, I’ve found a good reason to stay

Your emerald eyes may judge, but out of love

You see in me what I don't see enough

Your claws are set so deep in me, I'll never be the same

Old memories shine when I speak your name

I swore I'd never let one in again

My older wounds still need more time to mend

But then I saw your face & couldn't leave

I never thought that you'd be what I need

You're pawing at the string I'm danagling on

Yanking on my leash when I've withdrawn

And even though my better days are not a guarantee

You somehow find the love to carry me
