Do you ever know what true love is like?

I have witnessed the ugly side of it growing up

'Love makes you crazy', they said.

The don't ask, don't tell moments,

The days when you see their genuine smile with a stranger

Times where they put their index finger on their mouth

And because you think that's love,

You become an ally

To something so wicked

Now I'm old enough I wonder,

But because you're the only glue, 

Holding these cracked souls together,

You learn and adapt

Maybe that's why I am a firm non-believer of true love

When I feel something's coming in my heart,

I know it'll go bust,

They get tired of you,

Or you're too much for them,

They'll only use you when they need you,

When they're done using you,

They leave anyway.

But today,

with their red, swollen eyes on their screen

they face each other,

and murmured the three letter words

we've all been waiting for.

It takes a strong force to bind them

And as I heard those words,

I thought to myself,

"maybe soulmates do exist."
