๐ŸŽƒWhere are you, my soulmate?

I've been waiting for the one who can see my soul.

When You Are Old, by William Butler Yeats

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

โ€จAnd nodding by the fire, take down this book, โ€จ

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

โ€จYour eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; โ€จ โ€จ

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

โ€จAnd loved your beauty with love false or true,

โ€จBut one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

โ€จAnd loved the sorrows of your changing face; โ€จ

โ€จ

And bending down beside the glowing bars, โ€จ

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled โ€จ

And paced upon the mountains overhead โ€จ

And hid his face amid a crowd of starsโ€จ
