Soulmates Poem by Mary Champion

Maybe they were born to be together
and they don't feel complete when they're apart.
Maybe they are perfect for each other.
Who can tell the secrets of the heart?

What does she see in him?
He's not that bright,
and she's so brilliant.
It can't be right.
We rush to judgement,
why is it so?
when it's a secret
for them to know.

Maybe they were born to be together
and they don't feel complete when they're apart.
Maybe they are perfect for each other.
Who can tell the secrets of the heart?

With looks to die for,
you'd think he'd choose
the kind of beauty
that makes the news.
We see the surface,
but, deep inside,
the force that binds them
can't be denied.

Maybe they were born to be together
and they don't feel complete when they're apart.
Maybe they are perfect for each other.
Who can tell the secrets of the heart?

She could have chosen
from the elite -
the rich and famous,
the ruling clique.
But he is nothing
the world can see.
Why does she love him
exclusively?

Maybe they were born to be together
and they don't feel complete when they're apart.
Maybe they are perfect for each other.
Who can tell the secrets of the heart?

Why choose a lover
who's so ill-starred?
who's quite unsuited,
who makes it hard
to be accepted
by kith and kin.
Why cross the bound'ry?
Why not fit in?

Maybe they were born to be together
and they don't feel complete when they're apart.
Maybe they are perfect for each other.
Who can tell the secrets of the heart?
