In talking with different people
there are a wide range of views when it comes to soul mates.

Some people feel that the WORST thing we can teach our chidren
is that they even exist..............

some people spend a lifetime searching in vain
for their "missing half",

and
some people are lucky enough to have found theirs....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What are YOUR views about soul mates?
Do you have one?
Are you looking for one?
Did you marry one ..........only to discover that maybe they aren't really your soul mate?

Also the question then arises.........for those who are married but LOOKING for their soul mate............or married and NOT looking but inevitably FIND their soul mate.........

Do you leave a wife/husband, children, family, etc..........for a soul mate?
If the myth of soul mates IS true.........then he or she is your other half........made to complete you and only you.......

the question then comes into play...........
Once you've found them...........can you live a life without your soulmate?

Hi Flybabe,

I don't believe in soul mates. I think there's such a thing as compatibility, but I don't think that 'missing' halves exist. If it were true, the statistical likelihood of all the people in the world who claim to have found their soul mates would be impossible. Instead, I think like-minded people exist, and they are much more easier to find.

Very and very difficult question indeed Flybabe. Its something that I have been wrestling with for years. Im here for that reason. Enough said, keep up the excellent thread!

I am not open to the belief that we have ONE soulmate. After all, if that were true, how likely would it be that we would ever meet them? We live in a massive world with a huge number of people. Wouldn't it be depressing to believe that there was just one person in the whole world that we could truly relate to?

I think we have several soulmates; people who we interact with on a very deep level during our lifetime. These people touch our souls and will always be a part of us, not as easily dismissed out of our lives as others maybe are.

Yeah, that's my opinion too, minus your eloquent phrasing.

I think that people who are searching for a soul mate to fill a void will never find a person who can fill it.

I think you must fill yourself, and find love within yourself before you can possibly ever think that you can overflow with love enough to carry it to another person. My bestfriend has been searching for her soulmate, and after a number of abusive relationships, and one divorce, has decided that perhaps she better find personal acceptance before trying to find a man who accepts her as perfect.

No such thing as soulmates, however, I beleive there are some people who may have a certain feel, way about them, that may touch you a little more deeply then another, and from whom you may accept more faults, who you may give more forgiveness to.

Relationships are all about accaptance and forgiveness, be they lovers, friends, spouses, or co-workers. You must find people whos faults you can accept, mistakes you can forgive, and who are willing to do the same for you.

Very well put. I think there are times when you just connect with people and don't know why. I don't think there is just one Soul Mate, but certain people just touch something in you.....

I believe there is a match for everyone. but we live in a world where we are taught from a young age what the world sees as compatible. So we are not sure ourselves what a soul mate is.

Do you have one? - Yes, I have found one - I know this without a shadow of a doubt.

Are you looking for one? - No, I wasn't looking for her in the first place. We found each other through circumstances.

Did you marry one ..........only to discover that maybe they aren't really your soul mate? - No. I'm not sure I ever felt she was a soul mate. Just the one who loved me unconditionally when we met.

Also the question then arises.........for those who are married but LOOKING for their soul mate............or married and NOT looking but inevitably FIND their soul mate.........

Do you leave a wife/husband, children, family, etc..........for a soul mate?

This is a very difficult question. I think you need to give your marriage and your family every chance to succeed. But if it has no chance...harder decisions will certainly follow.

If the myth of soul mates IS true.........then he or she is your other half........made to complete you and only you.......

the question then comes into play...........
Once you've found them...........can you live a life without your soulmate?

It will be a difficult and possibly even painful road. But I think some are forced through circumstances to live their lives without their soulmate. I hope that is not my fate...

I have found my soulmate....in Australia


The thing about a soulmate is you can love people at different stages of ur life....and for different reasons....but a soulmate is someone you could love in all stages and forms of ur life

Tiger and I felt a tug towards each other when we met....do we agree on everything, no...do we have to like all the same things, no....do we share a bond of being able to talk about anything without fear of being labled or thought of differently, yes....we accept each other, no strings attached...as is...faults and all.....and still we talk every day...every possible minute...and even in silence it's ok....we connect on a level I have never known....and we both have a feeling of missing a part of us when we aren't together....so yeh, they do exist....:kk

I feel many people pass through our lives are some soul mates.... that would be on what definition we apply.... and to the degree of touching our emotional needs.... I feel we all have the ablitity to love various people at many levels..... society seems to be the one that tries top put us all in little box's so that can tell us what is right and what is wrong...... :knuddel:

I believe that God has a plan for us. We have free choice, but I also think that God sets up a set of circumstances that lead us to certian people. It is those people that will teach us the lessons we need to learn throughout our lifetime. It is those people that I consider to be soulmates.

That being said, I consider my ex husband to be a soulmate, as much as I consider my current husband a soulmate. It took the lessons I learned from my ex to lead me where I am today.

I also consider my best friend to be a soulmate. She is teaching me that best girlfriends can have unconditional love for each other.

God sends us those that we can learn the most from.

I do not believe in soul mates...I belive that there are some people that you are more physically and mentally attracted to...They may stimulate your mind, body and soul...but until you are in a life time committed relationship with no escape and the problems of every day life will you really know if the relationship is going to work....

My husband is truly my soul mate, he understands me, he tolerates me and yes he knows me better than I do... we are utterly independent, we don't have unrealistic expectations of each other, and when it comes to our children we are like the mafia... it works! (for now anyway!)

i truly believe in soul mates ....and u can guffaw at what i have to say ..but its still my belief ....Momma is my soul mate ..no doubt in my mind ..we were destined to be together ..i have always said i knew it the day we met ...i fell in love with her instantly ,i knew in my soul and my heart she was the one ....last year i also met another soul mate ..and even though she lived 8000 miles away ,she knew when i hurt ,when i was crying and when I needed a hug ...when i go to heaven i will have two women waiting for me ..one is there now ,Momma will be there one day too ...

I believe in fate and destiny ,the things i have witnessed over the last two years have only inforced that belief ...

I'm not a believer in soul mates because in order to do so, you have to believe in the entire "every person has a soul" concept, which I do not. However, I do believe you can come across in your every day affairs that there will be an instant attraction to, be it physical, mental, emotional or financial. If the case of the last attraction, that is pretty much a disaster waiting to happen if that is your attraction.


As far as the first three, a combination of all three, I feel is the makings of the so-called "soul mate", although I would prefer to call it my "lifematch". I believe that person needs to be intellectually in your stratosphere, be pleasing to your senses of touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing. If the person is attractive to you, you close your eyes and can taste, smell and hear them, then truly, they have touched your heart. Through compatibility, sense of humor and a great many other intangibles, a hearty and healthy relationship can develop that will bond two people like cement.
When you have it, you know it and I must say, she is so terrific, I feel that somewhere along the line, I must have really been a good person to be so lucky to have her in my life. An angel from heaven has fallen into my arms.

I will say I believe in soulmates....and that people may have more than one......and they may be same, or different gender

I found one........

I love people easily.......I love many people....some as friends.......some romantically....some, as admiration for their personality or accomplishments....

but a soulmate is soooooooooooooo much more.......

Hmm, that is not what you told me once before. LOL Well I guess people do change, like me for example and not being on here. Guess that is partly because I am happy and very content with the woman I am with who is from Europe. Soulmates? Hmmm, don't know if I would buy that theroy for anyone just yet. But I have to agree with MajorFun when it comes to this topic. Oh and you know what happen to the Mafia here is the U.S. .....um, they went down and went to jail! So lets hope the same doesn't happen to you!:55 :)

The term soul mates, has seemed to become widespread and commonly used is many many threads and forums all over the Internet. I think what was once a rarely used term with special meaning has become a commonly used term with several meanings for everyone who uses it in their text or in general conversation.


I read everyone's opinions in this thread and they all seem feasible in one way or another. I also think that the flamboyant use of the word "soul mate" has turned some people against there being such a thing...I once felt that way.

My only thoughts are that a true soul mate cannot be found on the Internet itself...I believe online relationships are a great start to finding your soul mate because we get to know each others private thoughts so much better than most spouses know one another. There are exceptions as we have seen written here in this thread, but for the most part I feel that marriages, other than those who meet online, are lacking in that area. My own personal opinion of a true soul mate is one who you connect with in text and also connect with living together. Remember, all the words written here may very well be how we all feel...but we are all here for a reason, mostly therapeutic, but for a reason. Are our spouses the cause of why we are here? Are our spouses on similar sites saying the same thing about us? Chatting here, even on a private level, has a purpose behind it and a lot of it is physical....will both lovers feel the same and be able to give and take to make living together work? If the answer is yes, then the term soul mates comes into play.

To think of a soul mate.... because you are privately mesmerized by words, pictures, or even your first meeting.....well....I feel the end piece of that puzzle, living together, needs to fit as well.

There are no right or wrong definitions of soul mate, it is what you feel it is and if the both of you feel the same...then let it be.

I agree. It's difficult to actually coin the term "Soul Mate" without surviving some of the truly trying things in life. Death. Kids. The Flu. The Emergency Room. Working together in a small kitchen. Fixing a broken sink together. Bills. Not the sexy stuff, but when dealing with such things you can truly get a sense of a person.

thanks for putting in your 2 cents!

I totally agree that the term "soul mates" has been overused.........
but I do believe in the possiblity of soul mates.
I don't think many are fortunate enough to find theirs.....
but when they do it is beautiful and earth shattering........
and there is nothing like it.....
I have to confess that for many years I gave up any and all notions that "soul mates"
exist......
but now I think they do--Just not everyone is fortunate enough to have found theirs.......

Wanting to find your soul mate sounds like a wonderful thing. For me personally I won't rule out that they might exist but I am not going to hold out hoping to find one. I do not want to be dependent on anybody again for my happiness and I don't want anybody depending on me for theirs. If you can find somebody who shares your interests that is wonderful. But for me I want to be happy with myself and do the things I want, having someone to have sex with once in awhile would only be a bonus.

I have wrestled with how to define the term soulmate.......I really can't......but the best definition I have seen was posted by surfdude a ways back:

"it's the person who, when you meet them, you feel the vibration between the two of you, almost like a tuning fork. it's the moment of recognition that you've always known this person, and part of you cries in realizing you've been apart before now. it's an immediate, recognized sense of loss that the other half of you is over there."

I did not put much stock into the concept of soulmates. I did not come to the site looking for one. Yet, the tuning fork resounded immediately with someone here. Whatever you define it as is not important. It has nothing to do with physical characteristics or sexual desires. This is a person who simply was a significant part of me, before I ever knew it. It almost feels like a twin, from whom I was separated at birth.

We just "get" each other.

Having now experienced this type of relationship, her daily friendship has become an essential part of my life, much like breathing.

now here's another deep and hopefully thought provoking question for you all.

Twins can sometimes "feel" each other and know what each other is thinking/feeling etc. at any given moment even from miles away. Has anyone experienced something like THAT with their soulmate?

Ok reading all these posts made another question come to mind.


From personal experience I would have said a year ago that soulmates (as defined as your "missing half") just do not exist. And yet now I KNOW that they do........I was certainly not looking for one since I didn't believe they existed. So does having experienced a soul mate or not change your feelings and attitudes about them? If you've never had one should you LOOK actively for one or just hope it happens? Should you concentrate on living YOUR life and being happy with who you are (my personal opinion),
Or are we soul mate believer's just deluding ourselves..........
What is YOUR opinion?

Twins can sometimes "feel" each other and know what each other is thinking/feeling etc. at any given moment even from miles away. Has anyone experienced something like THAT with their soulmate?



I don't believe in one, unique, "soulmate", but I do believe in this kind of connection, flybabe. There are times when I start thinking, "you know, I need to call so-and-so." Every time I follow through on that, I discover that something important is going on in that person's life; every time I don't follow through, I discover later how much I should have called when I first had the thought!

Ok reading all these posts made another question come to mind.



From personal experience I would have said a year ago that soulmates (as defined as your "missing half") just do not exist. And yet now I KNOW that they do........I was certainly not looking for one since I didn't believe they existed. So does having experienced a soul mate or not change your feelings and attitudes about them? If you've never had one should you LOOK actively for one or just hope it happens? Should you concentrate on living YOUR life and being happy with who you are (my personal opinion),
Or are we soul mate believer's just deluding ourselves..........
What is YOUR opinion?




I don't know if I have met mine yet, maybe time will tell.. and maybe I have and I am too stubborn to realize it... wanting my freedom first I might be missing out on him..

I am not looking for one.. if it happens I will welcome it with open arms.. as long as I have realized that I found him..

I plan to continue down the path I have started, live my life and try to make myself happy, with the help of a few friends..

I don't think it's a delusion any more than I think there's only one person out there who's truly your soul mate. I think it's a matter of openness to finding it rather than aggressively looking, and then when you find that connection, it still has to be cultivated and cared for. I don't think any relationships, even soul mates, survive without intentional cultivation. What do you think?

yes i think there is such a thing as a soul mate.
i think ive met mine (and lost him)...its hell being away from him not knowing how he is or whats he doing...but it was my choice not to go to him when i had the chance and now i guess ill just have to live with that decision.

I started this thread and yet have been strangely quiet on the subject hugh?
I think If I got to talking about it I could write a novel on the subject and probably put more than a few of you to sleep in the process.....:whee:

I agree that every relationship MUST be cultivated and cared for carefully......
I HAVE experienced things I would NEVER have believed possible before I met "him".
It is truely different than any other relationship in my life.
It's like it's on a completely different level that I didn't know existed before so I didn't miss it or even know it was there to BE missed.
It's like thinking the place you live is wonderful........
then being suddenly transported to paradise..........
and realizing what you've been missing all along.

I tried for YEARS......10+ to make my husband be my "soul mate"........
to love him that way.....
to think of him that way.....

Sounds like you've got your answer, flybabe! :)


"In tune" is a good metaphor. In fact, music is really my favorite image for relationships. It's hard not to make it sound cheesy, but when you're playing music with other people there are those that you have to work hard to stay with, and then there you just click with and naturally play off of one another.
That's what soul mates are like. You don't have to be exactly the same; in fact, sometimes the music is richer when you're not and you can play off of each other. But you do have to stay in tune, in key, and in sync; and when you've got a good partner, it just takes a few minor adjustments to do that.

I used to believe in one perfect soul-mate that each person could find, but now I've come to believe that we can choose our own soul-mate from a vast array of different people .... That's not to say that everyone is suited and anyone would work, but I think each person has multiple options available to them rather than just one which they may or may not find.

Each will have their own failures and foibles, but it's a case of working out which ones you can accept and which ones you can live with more easily .... The hard part is that they're not always apparent at first, so you could end up with someone that it's very hard to live with. On the flipside, outsiders become increasingly attractive because you're not yet privy to see the potential flaws they may have. This can be quite dangerous because the grass isn't always greener, as they say ....

Very insightful Mad.........but we have to remember......the key words in that phrase are isn't always...........which implies that SOMETIMES it IS greener.....
When you love someone.....truely and completely......
You love them flaws and all.....you don't expect them to be perfect...
You love them for what they are..
You love the FOR their flaws....
or in spite of their flaws..
You just love them.

I couldn't resist this one. yes i believe in soul mates. But I also believe that you can have more than just one throughout your life, maybe 2 or 3. To have someone to truely know you inside and out. To know what you are thinking just by the look on your face. I have found my soul mate, but he was already taken. :cry: But we know what we are to each other and that is better than nothing. I would be lost without him.

Hi Flybabe,

I don't believe in soul mates. I think there's such a thing as compatibility, but I don't think that 'missing' halves exist. If it were true, the statistical likelihood of all the people in the world who claim to have found their soul mates would be impossible. Instead, I think like-minded people exist, and they are much more easier to find.

I agree. I don't believe in just one "Soul Mate" for each person.
Reflect on your past. Certain people made an enormous impact and made you feel complete. Perhaps it was a teacher who saw potential and encouraged you. Maybe it was a friend or grandparent with whom you shared secrets about the meaning of life. Maybe it was an old girlfriend/boyfriend, with whom you grew apart as your goals changed. Soul mates make a dramatic impact on your life, your outlook and your inner spirit, even if your time together is brief. Think we have many some called "SOUL MATES"..not just one!

TheTurtle
08-27-2007, 08:11 AM
I think, too that it depends on your definition and expectations of a "soul mate". My best friend in the world is the same gender as me, and we are both straight. We never had any sexual attraction. Yet, I consider him my soul mate. We were/are so in tune with each other that we were able to complete each other's sentences; we could look at each other, and would burst out laughing because we both thought of the same joke at the same time. We had a verbal short hand. People would just shake their heads, and called us "mind twins". I might not see him for a couple of years (just email, etc.), and we are together for 3-4 hours, and everything "clicks" back in sync. Makes it easy to buy birthday presents... :D We supremely enjoy spending time together. We can talk about anything.


The thing is, we didn't meet until our sophomore year in college; and our backgrounds are VASTLY different. Would this meet your definition of a soul mate? Or does the "mate" part have to mean sex is involved?

It certainly meets my definition of a soulmate. Sex doesn't have to be a a part of it.....it is the intense, emotional intertwining of hearts, spirits, thoughts, and care for each other, that creates a kinship so close that only "soulmates" describes it. I'm in the camp that believes a person can have more than one, and I think this friend you described is a wonderful example of a soulmate. You are so blessed and fortunate to have a dear friend like him. Thanks for sharing.

Not quite clear how I feel on this subject, have mixed emotions about the terminology...

At this point in my life my rather jaded viewpoint is that generally speaking, the term soul mate is overused just as the term love is. I won't go as far as to say that soul mates don't exist, because I do feel as though we can have strong connections clicking on more than one level with possibly several others throughout our lifetime. Sometimes even when it's a person of the same sex whether there be an attraction that go's beyond friendship or not.

This thread go's to show you that each of us as individuals defines things differently, in part because of who we are and what we've gone through.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What are YOUR views about soul mates?
Do you have one?
Are you looking for one?
Did you marry one ..........only to discover that maybe they aren't really your soul mate?

Also the question then arises.........for those who are married but LOOKING for their soul mate............or married and NOT looking but inevitably FIND their soul mate.........

Do you leave a wife/husband, children, family, etc..........for a soul mate?
If the myth of soul mates IS true.........then he or she is your other half........made to complete you and only you.......

the question then comes into play...........
Once you've found them...........can you live a life without your soulmate?
I use to believe in soul mates. I don't know anymore.

Patience, you will one day meet a person whom you feel that you can't live without. They know you better than you know yourself. I found my soulmate at 17 but I didn't know he was my soulmate til a few years ago. We will be together (close) til the day we die. Whether he divorces or I leave my man, doesn't matter, he is there for me and I am there for him. I can't even imagine life without him. The small, little, short, nothing conversations that we share mean the world to me as does him. We are each others EXCEPTIONs. We don't see what we have as cheating, we see it as special. I probably know him better than his wife but I love his wife and I think that they are good for each other. I know that I am his second just as he is mine. :whee:

Affirmative....but again I reiterate the concept of "relativity" here. You make my case for me....you don't believe because you don't want to. In time, your circumstances will change, there will be that special someone whom you may choose to label as "soul mate'. The power of that label and all that is meant to go with it is only as strong as the committment between the two whom the bond exists. Hence, it is relative to thier mutual perception of the relationship.

Alternatively, you would have to accept that a higher power has excerised divine intervention in the lives of each of us and assigned "a single individual" to whom we are destined, should we follow the path which leads us to them. There are roughly 6.7 billion "souls" on this planet....what are the odds?

To claim a "soul mate" is a term of endearment, but its not an invincibility.

I try not to seek that which doesn't exist. But, it is a nice thing to say about somebody, to call them soul mate. It justifies many things as well. There is nothing wrong with the term.

Likewise, I wish you the richest of blessings on you quest to find your predestined one.

Well doesn't the name say it all? SOUL mate. That which serves our soul not always is what we understand serves ourselves knowingly. So sadly enough, if you wish, a soul mate may sometimes be someone you spend your entire life with, not completely satisfied about it, but that insatisfaction was necessary for you to achieve other things in life.
Better search for what is right, than for someone to make it feel right.

I can't quite swallow the concept of one and only one true love for each of us per lifetime. I do believe that each of us has one or more persons who can help us to growth and become all that we can be, who will support, honor, shelter, guide, serve, succor, challenge, adore, and love unreservedly. I also think that most of us manage in some way to miss out on these relationships. Therefore, we are always searching for the ideal relationship, the ideal partner, the soulmate!!
Have a friend who believes there are several types of "Soulmates",
karmic soulmates, primary soulmates, false twins, and a twin soul.

I do believe... and I know I have mine.

A lot of my belief comes from my FIRM belief in reincarnation.... I think certain groups of souls find each other again and again in each life.

*BUT* I think the Hollywood interpretation of soulmates is what people are looking for.... and not finding.

IMO, there is NO ONE alive that you will not have bad days with, fight with, say hurtful things occasionally, etc... no relationship is perfect... it takes work, even with the 'one'. The first year of marriage, for example... no matter how much love there is, living with someone is going to annoy the *&^% out of you at times. That is life.

Having a soulmate hurts. It is a person that you cannot lie to (the guilt eats you alive and they can just look at you and see it) , and who can see the very darkest parts of you... thoughts, dreams, etc. It is a type of intimacy that is painfully beautiful-- you are willing to do anything for each other, even when you are being the worst version of yourself, and they are too. For the rest of the world... I can be a happy sweet person, but one who does not share anything personal... for Yasha... I can't "fake" anything, no matter how badly I try.

The first time I looked into his eyes... the first time we kissed... it felt exactly the same as when my newborn sons were placed on my chest-- a rush of love and fear so strong that it almost chokes you, and you cry out from the strength of it all and the knowledge that you KNOW them... immediately.

Just my opinon, of course...

Wow! That's exactly how I felt, but I had stomach flu that day too.............



I do believe... and I know I have mine.

A lot of my belief comes from my FIRM belief in reincarnation.... I think certain groups of souls find each other again and again in each life.

*BUT* I think the Hollywood interpretation of soulmates is what people are looking for.... and not finding.

IMO, there is NO ONE alive that you will not have bad days with, fight with, say hurtful things occasionally, etc... no relationship is perfect... it takes work, even with the 'one'. The first year of marriage, for example... no matter how much love there is, living with someone is going to annoy the *&^% out of you at times. That is life.

I think soul mates are just people that you haven't realized how different you are yet. I think it's a great experience. It sucks when you find them married to other people though.

I don't know about one "Soul Mate" for each person.......


What I do know is that is is possible to meet someone that is familiar to you, like you know them already, and they know you, and you each understand each other. This has only happend only a very few times in my life. One time is my very best friend of over 20 years......

When it does happen it feels like it was soposed to.

It's amazing when it happens. And lucky. And freaky. And cool.

Is that a "Soul Mate"? I'm not sure.

I don't agree... Soulmates should be able to withstand anything together... apart they are no good...

I think a true soulmate will not only be there when things are good... they will be there when things are bad too...

a true soulmate will feel like a piece of them is missing and won't rest until that piece has been returned to them...

come on... make me believe because i don't right now... and I really do want to believe..

You have to believe on your own...because then and only then will the concept of soulmates really be true...I believe there are soul mates...we may, over the course of our lives, have more than one...who knows...but I do believe that each of us fits together with someone else in a near-perfect fit...and yes, one will not be compete without the other. Loneliness changes perspective...so does a broken marriage...and the ticking clock is a devil of a background noise...but aside from all that stuff...you have to believe. Be who you are, be the best of you...and never give up. Archibald the Soumate is out there, probably looking for you.

I am a hopeless romantic...you should be, too. :kk

Ok! I hate the term 'Soul Mate' there you go… We were destined to meet and fall in love and blah, blah, blah". Sorry but the cosmos did not open up and place sperm-aligned soul mates across the flipping planet! Yea! You may find a partner that sends you weak at the knees (even with your clothes on) but don't tell me it was destiny! Puhlease! It was more likely a push-up bra, a few pints and some sultry looks!
Now don’t get me wrong, I have loved and lusted many men in different countries, but the only souls I can think of right now have an R in front (think about it).
So for what’s its worth here is my take on the Soul Mate issue...I believe there are MANY different people that we are compatible with and the one we fall in love with is the one we fall in love with...BUT and yes there is a big BUT...if we grew up some place else or worked in a different building or played a different sport then chances are we would fall in love with someone completely different, yes?
No, I ain’t bitter and twisted and I don’t want to crap on everyone else that has found love" this is just an observation and a dislike of the expression ‘Soul Mate’ that’s all.

... I used to be referred to as such...and now am despised by my "soul mate"... I think you create the relationship you have... or at least you do your part towards its richness or poverty. If both are fully engaged, you will meet someone you feel is your closest friend ... lover of body and soul. It's not fated, in the stars, if you miss the one, your doomed sort of thing.

In my humble opinion...

Im one of the lucky ones i found mine. But i did'nt find him till i was in my 40's.
Whats ironic the whole time we wanted to find someone we where right next door or following each other. Let me explain: We lived next door to each other complexes and did'nt know. We worked at the same employment one month apart and did'nt know. When we did meet his daughter lived one block from me.
And both our parents have the same b-day which is April 15th tax day. So i guess sooner or later we would have found each other.:kk

I think I found my soul mate once. We were like two peas in a pod. We loved to hang out and just shoot the breeze. Everyone thought we were dating for the longest time. We never did and we stayed just the best of friends. Unfortunately I ended up dating her best friend and when that ended we kind of drifted. I miss her though.

I have loved her from the very first hour, when stolen glances and innocent words would continue playing in my mind long into the silent , dark night.

I have loved her from the very first hour and have never ceased to love her unto this very hour.

My love for her is so deep and fierce that sometimes I think it is taking place outside of me.

If she were to drop her own heart into mine we would never hear it hit bottom.

She is a single beam of light piercing the darkness of my hours.
She is the single star first appearing after the long storm has passed.
She is the scent of the roses in my garden.
She makes me alive.
