Mismatch

I do love you You must accept that as a given There was never any question Of my not loving you But there was always something missing You must have felt it too A “close but no cigar” kind of feeling So I do love you But no matter how great the love The uncomfortable truth is You’re not the one You’re not my soul mate I wish you were Because I do love you But we are not a matched pair Almost but not quite But she’s out there Somewhere, waiting, wondering Maybe having this same conversation With her mismatch She’s out there The perfect one The one made for me The one I was made for We only get one chance To get it right And we have got it wrong He is out there somewhere Your perfect half Who will make you whole And make you happy You must seek yours out And I must search for mine
