Have we crossed paths yet? | Poem | Spoken word

Dear Soulmate,
Have we crossed paths yet?
.
. You name distance as places and voids,
But, I'll count them with your footprints
When they'll touch mine!
One. Two. Three.
Or maybe, a thousand miles away.
Tell me, Have we crossed paths yet?
If not, which road would you take, and when?
And if it's fate, We'll cross paths,
And Your footprints will touch mine.
They might be irregular, small or gaint, on different sides on different times, maybe.
But, will that touch make you feel me?
Will you wonder something, something magical?
That maybe we were close, and Just a mile, away.
Can same city make me feel, a little closer to you everyday?
Will you search for me then?
Does this make sense to you?
Have we crossed paths, yet?
Tell me,
If my friend, sent you a peice of nature? Or half of the cloud.
Sipping her cup of tea, sitting with me,
my echo a little loud.
Would that snap, will that tell you stories about me?
Do pictures tell the back story?
Would you think of me?
Does that make sense to you?
Oh, tell me,
Have we crossed paths, yet?
But where is this path leading to?
When I'll follow you, from your insta stories and my hands will touch the same board you touched minutes back?
Will that touch remind me of you?
Or can I only touch you from objects?
Can touch tell stories?
Or do you have our pictures?
Are they blank? Don't they move!
Do they have memories of me?
Oh come on, tell me,
Have we crossed paths, yet?
When my name will pop up, will you think of me as a story or a footprint, or a soulmate, or will I just be a photograph, that doesn't move.
Or a touch, you never felt,
Or distance, that was never enough to measure.
Oh fate, tell me,
Where is my (soul?)mate?
Have we crossed paths yet?
