Now that I have finally located where you are, <br />it brings me a small measure of peace. <br />For years, the voice inside my head has been unceasing, <br />'You've lost your best friend, your soul mate, you fool! ' <br />A person is so fortunate to find their soul mate at all <br />and I pay for my foolishness every day. <br />I have been so damn lost without you- <br />it feels like my life has been on hold since 1991. <br />In my quest to find you, knowing you were out there somewhere, <br />kept me going. <br />I had hope, hope we'd be together again. <br />Without that hope, my life is utterly empty. <br />Do you want to be together again? <br />Do you need to test the waters first, so to speak? <br />Please give me an answer and put me out of my misery. <br />If you'll have me, <br />I'll do everything I need, to make it happen. <br />My heart is waving like a flag on my sleeve. <br />11/15/07<br /><br />Barbara Haskell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-ll-have-me/
