7:15 on a Monday Evening

Artwork and Poem by Jeremy R

I didn't believe in soulmates Until 7:15 on a Monday evening. How could one simple action surpass The thousands of dollars my parents spent, Or the thousands of hours my best friend spent, Or the thousands of past kisses Laid on every inch of me. How could one simple sentence see me More clearly than I can see every single eyelash Brushing your cheeks as I run my thumb Down the side of your face After a long day. You will be the love of a lifetime. Soulmates didn't exist Until 7:15 on a Monday evening.
