I used to write poems which focused on the negative because I focused on the negative, the following is the first positive poem I've written which I feel proud of. I wrote it last week about a girl I was deeply infatuated with who doesn't seem to feel anywhere near what I felt for her. I thought she was a wanderer too and maybe even, for lack of a better word, "soulmate", though I think a more accurate term would be someone I believe I'd be highly compatible with of whom there probably aren't many on the planet. Unrequited love is tough; here's my poem.

Synergy
Let's discover
One another
And all the the mysteries of life
Let's explore
Beyond the doors
Of perception and Earthly strife
Let's experiment
And not repent
Living without regret
Let's test the limits
Of metaphysics
And do what we'll never forget
Let's do our best
Ignore the rest
And laugh, and learn and grow
Let's both prepare
To become aware
That this is all a show
Let's use our youth
To learn the truth
About where we both came from
Let's find Infinity
Through our affinity
Until our lives are done
Let's discover
One another
And all the the mysteries of life
Let's explore
Beyond the doors
Of perception and Earthly strife
Let's experiment
And not repent
Living without regret
Let's test the limits
Of metaphysics
And do what we'll never forget
Let's do our best
Ignore the rest
And laugh, and learn and grow
Let's both prepare
To become aware
That this is all a show
Let's use our youth
To learn the truth
About where we both came from
Let's find Infinity
Through our affinity
Until our lives are done
