Because

How do I know that we are soulmates?
After all, it's only a hypothesis, and
Belonging is more than just good sex,
effortless communication, confluence of interests,
even happiness or freakishly consistent timing...
Because I never believed in soulmatedness
before I met you;
Because of how I feel with and
without you;
Because I have never stopped talking to you.
(Now, I just do it out loud...)
Because it's your reactions I looked for;
Because I am most myself with you;
Because I cannot help being myself with you.
It's not a dogma,
just a constantly challenged hypothesis...
Because coincidences are too frequent to be coincidental.
Perhaps they are shortcut signs distilled through
long different roads we traveled
to arrive at each other,
after all?
