the one

do you believe in the one? that in this universe there is only one for each of us? 

there's the one who confused your heart for the first time. it's the one who made you feel like puppy love is the purest kind there is. 

there's the one who you will use only for intimacy even though they aren't the least bit intimate. it's the one who made you feel less than half of a whole. 

there's the one who's your best friend in the whole world. it's the one you could love with everything you have but it seems time never let you. 

there's the one who excited every hair on your body and rushed adrenaline throughout your core. it's the one your mother warned you about. 

there's the one who you sit outside the patio swing with reminiscing about your wonder years. it's the one holding your hand next to you when your grandkids open their Christmas presents. 

but what about the one who you never met. it's the one sitting on a train off to god knows where but they are listening to your favorite album, holding your favorite book, and in their bag is your favorite candy. 

what about the one who you thought was out of your league so you let it go. it's the one who thought you were the right amount of quirky and different. 

or what about the one who caught your smile passing by the airport. the one you missed sitting four rows behind you because you had to put your bag up. 

or even the one who you thought would never work out because you liked a certain type. the one who waited for you to fall asleep in your own bed safely when you were drunk on St. Patty's day. 

i don't know which one i am passing by your timeline but i have to believe i'm lucky enough that you are all of the above for me.
