Natural Affinity

Souls are purely made of

one energy

Earth, Air, Fire, or Water

There may be

billions of souls

made from these energy sources

but they are

never

the same

I remember the first time

I saw you

The sunlight was reflecting off your big brown eyes

I saw the gold rays

I saw the fire

I saw the darkness

Suddenly

I felt a natural affinity

between us

My soul jumped with excitement

You were so intriguing

You were a concept that I

needed

to understand

The stars say fire and water could

never

go

together

As water I would

kill your flame, drown it out

until heat can

no longer exist

I would drain the life

out of you,

making you feel so numb

to the point where

you no longer know what

existence is

Being the gullible, passive person I am

I have always believed

in the stars

until now

I am so determined

to prove the stars

wrong

They are wrong

They are

so

wrong

I want the stars to understand

How a love like ours

is

so precious

so lucky

so special

so genuine

As water I can put you to ease

when you burn out of control

I can calm you down

I can make you feel deeply

I would never let you drown

but bring you

to the surface for air

to breathe

and

grow

As fire

you ignite me

You fill my cold crevices

with warmth and comfort

You build this fire in me

to make me grow

To be confident

To be bold

To be courageous

You wouldn't know

how to feel

And I wouldn't know

how to live

Without one another, we wouldn't know what true love is

As opposite energies

we are vital

for one another’s growth,

having the capability of transforming into

better versions of ourselves
