Soulmate
What if soulmates existed? What if the world came crashing down -- who would save you? How would they save you, and how are you two connected? How did you meet, and why do you happen to be so infatuated with them? Describe the scene in any form of writing -- poetry, narrative, etc. Be creative with it! Good luck :)

Echo

a Kingdom among

the stars,

a tale as old

as time,

a destined meeting

across the galaxy,

a soul-bond

created from cosmic dust,

a waltz on

the face of a cratered

silver moon,

a melody composed

and strummed

on the rings of Saturn,

spilled ink

tattooed on the soul

…and in Divine timing

they couldn’t escape the

collision

that would eventually

cause a vein in the heart

to echo a familiar

beat.

Soulmates

If you get to spend your life with your soulmate, you are devastatingly lucky.

Meeting them is hard enough, but dating them and marrying them statistically is next to impossible. 7 billion people. One of you, and one of them.

Sadly, no, one of the saddest things is that,

People settle for comfort.

They settle for money, for stability, for family approval.

And while I’m not saying that’s bad,

How can you live your life without ever finding out the big what if? Perhaps I'm overly naive or hopeful, yet I wonder. Can you be content? Can you stand to spend your life with someone else? And leave your soulmate to someone else?

I’d rather be living paycheck to paycheck in a raggedy apartment if it meant I could dance in the rain with my soulmate, watch old movies and think ordering chinese food is a treat. I know with capitalism and the way the world works, it’s not that easy. It's not that clean-cut. But love isn’t either. Love is incredibly complicated.

We all burn brightly, but only for a glimpse in history. Wouldn't it be a shame if we never tried to find the person we were meant for? Never tried to make it work? I’d rather give my life to the what if, then spend all of my life wondering about it.
