Couples

Soulmate  Lover  Friend  Confidante
Partner  True love  Second self

It appears some people are meant
to be with one other.

Companion  Sister  Brother  Heart’s desire
But for fate they might

have been ships that pass in the night?
Perhaps it is fate? Or good luck?

Or a happy accident
that they do chance to meet

and know they must set sail
together? What an adventure!

Let’s be happy for them.

But don’t forget the lone figure,
for ever in the distance,

always on the edge,
condemned to  gaze at couples

and wonder
‘How does that feel? What must that be like?’

O' Sailor
