Soulmate?

I can see you dreaming of me- restless without my arms to hold you.
I hear you speak of the woman who will complete you- I am she.
You wait anxiously for the physical intimacy that has lived in your mind since you were aware of your own heart,
for the day we leap from each other's dreams into each other's embrace.
I know you'll be the only one to make me feel truly needed and comfortable needing you.
You want to renew my faith in the purity of love; you believe love is enough.
You'll want to show me the total surrender in your eyes-
the genuine devotion you view as a privilege, not a sacrifice.
Your love can open my ears to the whispering of our names on the wind,
can open my heart to a renewed faith in eternal love that was long ago shattered.
Yours is a desire to satisfy me mind, body and soul
to grow with me spiritually and challenge me mentally.
You will elicit in me a smile, a laugh, a sensual longing no other can inspire.
I will be intrigued by the eloquence of your expression and the unconditional romance of your heart long before any fleshly consummation.
Only your caress will feel as much a part of me as my own skin.
The merging of our energies, of our bodies will
create unparalleled bliss capable of enslaving us both.
Part of me wants you to see through my emotional armor
to heal my scarred heart with persistence and patience
to have faith for both of us until I have my own.
But the mind steps in to protect the heart from re-injuring itself.
While I know all of this, it does not change the painful lessons my heart has learned.
Sorry soulmate- I don't believe in you anymore.
