It's not that I don't believe

It's not that I don't believe.
I believe in soul mates.
I just have found them
to be...
susceptible...
to committing mistakes,
just like so many of us,
just like me .... so many times...
But what could I do
when you were already taken??
Can I even dare to look...
like I am
who I think I am for you??
And yet I remember that exchange of looks
That says nothing
and yet somehow
leaves nothing relevant...
It's not that I don't believe.
