This was written for a contest which wanted the writer to get his/her soul mate to join them.  The letter is placed in a bottle which the soul mate will find in a month.     © o. dell

Hello,

I tried to find a better word to start this letter, but no others would come to mind. How do I start a letter to someone who means so much to me? Yes, it is you I am talking to. You did not realize I felt this way? Look into your heart, my love, for I am there, though you seem a little too preoccupied to know. Or are you afraid of what I mean to you so you are trying to forget me. I must know how you feel. We are only pieces of a broken soul now. Can you not see we are halves of the same whole? What can I do to show you my half is the same as yours?

Let me come to you, my love, to show you what joining is like. No distance is too great for me to journey. I want to share my life, soul, and body with you. Please tell me you feel the same! Open your eyes and heart to me now, and I will guide you to me.

Our life will be togetherness in every way. Walks holding hands, amazed at the feeling of what a simple touch can do. Electricity flowing hand to hand, alas heart to heart. Fingers tingling, the joining of the corporal body separating the inner soul. Our views of the beauty around us will be the same. All the beautiful flowers will be ours, for we will be the only ones there. Their blooms will form a blanket around us, protecting us from harm and warming our hearts. Their perfume will float in the air, captured by our senses, and turned into thoughts of our joining. Trees will stand as sentinels protecting us from unexpected dangers, and reminding us everything on earth should be protected. Animals will watch us walk together and learn what togetherness is. We will be their teachers for we need not be taught. Our path will be well worn as many have passed this way before. Though there will be slips and falls along the way, we will be there to catch each other, making sure no harm comes.

As we walk our souls will join. We won't even feel it happen. When it does, we will be together, every breath and heartbeat in synchronous harmony. Our thoughts will be as one, no decisions made apart. Words will cease to be spoken; joined hearts need no spoken words. Our aura will become one glowing white shield around us, so we know we are now one. With that aura we will project love and healing to everyone, without regard to ourselves. Healers care not for themselves, only others, the meaning of true love. Complete as halves together, eternity will belong to us. Our corporal bodies will know what to do also. Holding hands is just the beginning. Little can compare to a gentle hug, allowing the feelings to flow. A look into my eyes then, my love, will mirror our souls. A kiss will soon follow. Electricity arcing across a moment before lips touch. Breath now mingling adds to our continued joining. The final joining comes with bodies intertwined, a scene witnessed by none. The result will be another soul created. One from two is unique.

How can we not do this, my love? We have always been soul mates. Each day is an eternity without you by my side. I patiently await your arrival to me with tortured tears on my pillow. My half grows weak from missing its other. I must have you with me very soon. Many things may prevent us from being together now, but only if we allow it so. I will do whatever, if only to see you one time. I live my tortured days missing my other half. Feel me, my love, you need me as much as I need you now. Please don't deny your love for me, I can not live with that thought. Completeness is all I need, I want, I desire. Come to me in my darkest hour, my light begins to dim. Much longer I can not survive, darkness is closing in. I have but one short month left to have you. Bring me my light, my love, my life. Endurance is gone; loneliness remains. Heartbreak knocks at my door, threatening to break in. I beg you, my love, come to me even for one short moment, so I may pass with a knowing heart, and meet my God fulfilled. Open your heart just a crack, it will not hurt when I slip in. My heart sings for you, please listen.

I beg you, please come to me.
Have I not said I love you?
I need to make you see,
In your heart you love me too.

Allow your love room to grow.
It is your heart that I call.
My loneliness I do show.
For you, how many teardrops must fall?

In this life we are but one.
Both of us just a part.
Joining is the only thing left undone,
To mend my lonely, broken heart.

Come to me, love of my life.
Much longer I can not endure.
I long to make you my wife.
Of nothing else am I sure.

Answer my song, my soul mate not here. Will you do as I ask? If not my heart will be ripped from my chest, as I watch its last beat in my final moment on earth.
