Lifemates Poem by Hadil Diaf

It's not about soulmates
It's about lifemates
Those who see your ugly scars
Your acne and body marks
Those who know your fears and doubts
Your weird habits and your embarrassing laughs
Those who know about your past
Your black spots
And all the things you've done wrong
Those who touched your burning shreds
And felt the pain you're hiding
those who know all about the dark side
All about the little shames
All about the regrets and blames
And yet still hold on to you
And yet still make you a part of their life
Still willing to continue the road with you
Still willing to know more of you
More of your ugly parts
More of you messed thoughts
Those who know about your broken heart
And yet are ready to fix its scars
And put the pieces back together
Those who know your darkness
And still love your light
Those who've seen your naked soul
And still want to touch it
Those who've been in your world
And still want to be a part of it
Those who accept your flaws
Fall in love with your imperfections
And help you heal.
Simply because they love you
No matter the differences
That set you apart
No matter the edges you're both standing on
No matter the distance that separates you
Despite all you've been through
Despite your fights
And bad tempers
Despite the moodiness
And bad weather
Despite all the bad things
Those who will love you
Because they value the good things
It's all about lifemates.
