Soulmates

Soulmates aren't

the people 

that make you the 

happiest, no.

They're instead the 

ones 

who make you feel

the most,

burning like a 

star on the edge of

the world 

as one night ends

and another  

begins.

Radiation and

reactions.

Scientific poetry,

poetic science.

Around and around

in an endless

circle.

They're pure

elation,

danger, and

ecstasy.

They're the ones

that can destroy

you.

They're the only

ones

you long to know.
