Analysis of I Married A Soul Mate



I wonder if you still remember my dear
the day you and I made a sacred deal;
together we'll walk how far or near...
to cherish the love that one can't steal.

As you take me on that very special day
I have mixed emotions that bother me;
the kind of destiny have to face I say
would it be lonely or a life full of glee?

Many years have passed, this I found
the seed of love has grown to the fullest
now I know; ours' shout the loudest sound
and will survive in time even the longest.

Indeed, we have one great love of a kind
what else should I ask to Heaven above?
when I have everything am sure its mine;
a perfect soul mate you're to me, my love!
