Is this The One

Is this The One

That foolish question of the mind

that can be answered only

by the heart.

Is this the one I have been seeking

to complete my every dream?

That perfect someone

who is my fantasy's fulfillment,

The perfect partner

with whom to pass the time

on this leg of my journey?

I thought I saw it in

the depth of that parting gaze,

felt it in the gentle jolt

of that first touch

and the softness of that single kiss

that completed our first meeting.

Could this be The One?

Our foolish mind does ask.

To which our knowing heart

can but smile and say:

My Dear,

There is but One.
