Who was the person who had always held my heart and treated it with the utmost care?

Who was the person who gently nursed it back to health each time?

Who was the person who deserved my gentle heart more than anyone I had given it to?

The answer was always there.

Last night, I had a dream.

In this dream I met every one of the people I have loved, and trusted my heart with.

In this dream, they all gave it back, worse for wear, tired and in tatters.

In this dream, they walked away without caring or giving me and my tired heart a second thought.

This morning, I awoke early.

My fever dream the previous night was a teacher.

It had come to me because it needed to tell me something important.

So I promised myself and the sun something today.

I promised that I would be my own soulmate.

I promised myself that I would never forget who the most gentle person with my heart is.

But I choose myself as my soulmate because I will always stay.

I am the only warrior it will know.

The only one who will ever save it from drowning inside itself.

I am the thing that will help myself grow.

So from now on, I will no longer be looking for a soulmate.

I have already found one.

And she is permanent.
