Sleep 

I read an old saying that soul mates minds are connected from birth. With that being said, when you can’t sleep your soul mate can’t sleep. 

I gave the old saying a try. I text someone close to my heart. Just said, “hey, are you awake?” 

As I wrote those four words my heart pounded and pounded with fear that he would not respond. Sure enough the fear came true. There was no response. 

No response made me question everything. Do I love him or just care about him? Do I just not want to lose him? Are we meant for one another? Why didn’t he respond? Was it too late to text? As bad as my mind moves this made for one sleepless night. 

If it’s not him then who is it? Who else is up with me wondering about life, the world, and how to love?
