In foolishly romantic moments,
I wonder if a soulmate awaits me
in the afterlife.

I wonder if perfect enduring love
exists there.

I wonder if despite the many loves
that end unhappily on earth
true love flourishes in the afterlife.

Of course, that’s probably a silly
case of wishful thinking, but
would it not be like a wonderful
fairy tale come true if romantic
love was forever in the afterlife?
