Dear Soul

Dear soul,
There are things about her that you'll never forget. Things like:
The way she flips her hair from side to side
The way she talks
The way she walks
The way she smiles and the way she laughs
The way she embraces and the way she greets
The way her eyes lit up when you'd meet
The way she ridiculed your silliness
Yet entertained you in your illness
The way she loses her cool and  gets mad
The way she closes in on herself when she feels low and bad
The way she kisses you to make you glad
The taste of her lips and the feel of her hips
The taste of her tongue and how she made you feel so young
The touch of her hand and the feeling of her palm
The beauty of her flaws and how she always stayed calm
The imperfect ways she had to become perfect in your eyes
The sudden calls at night to tell you to look up at the star-filled skies
The way she'd bit her lip when she didn't know you were looking
Or those surprise Sundays when she said she was cooking
Those walks down the shore and those kisses at her door
The never having enough of her, always wanting more.
The way she drowned herself in her tears and looked to you to be her hero
The way she let you hold her when a friend turned foe
How her smile reached her eyes and shone like the sun
How you knew she was going to be the one.
The way she whispered hi, the way she finally said goodbye
Goodbye.
Dear soul,
There are things about her that you'll never forget.
Things about her that'll never grow old
Like the love you shared, late nights in her bed,
The taste of her mouth, sweet, confident, never a doubt
The smell of her hair, lingers on the pillow there
And while none of it seems fair, you can't help but care.
There are things about her you won't let go
Things like her love, her mind, her beautiful, beautiful, angelic soul.
Her soul, and your love for it, will never grow old.
