Soul friend

We always called each other “twin”

Because we instantly felt so aligned

I felt there was way more to it

From a past life, our souls intertwined

~

My grieving felt so selfish

When you left this earth for good

Who was I going to lean on?

And make me feel understood?

~

I don’t know if you ever knew

How much of me you affected

You dying truly broke my heart

It taught me way more than I expected

~

Of course I knew you were loved

By everyone else who knew you

So I felt incredibly self-centred

As you were theirs to lose too

~

I guess that’s the beauty of life

How our existence leaves an imprint

The feeling we leave others with

To their fire, we’re the flint

~

Our friendship now lives inside me

Only now it’s paired with pain

The bittersweet of love and loss

Like a rainbow after the rain
