Will I ever find....my soulmate?

Will I ever wake up and face the guy who loves me...for me?

Will I ever receive flowers from him just out of the sake of his heart?

Will he ever hold my hand just because he wants to feel my touch?

Will I ever be able to hide behind his shoulder at a scary horror movie while he chuckles at me because he thinks it's cute?

Will I feel special when he takes me out to dinner on a Saturday night?

Will I lay beside him while looking up at the stars, trying to figure out the constellations?

Will I laugh at him for trying to impress me, but ends up doing something stupid?

Will he see me with no make-up on, but he doesn't mind because, "You look beautiful regardless."?

Will I let him hold me while I cry in his chest and he tells me, "Everything is going to be okay."?

Will I ever feel the softness of his lips that are so gentle and surreal you don't want it to stop that as I pull away he whispers, "Just one more kiss."?

Will I ever...love?
