Soulmates
What is a soulmate? About six months ago I would have said something like: "A person who is exactly like you, and who you love with no effort."
I was so wrong. A soulmate is a person who may or may not share common interests with you - it doesn't matter how much you have in common. There is a connection. You catch his eye, he smiles, you can't help but smile back. You understand him, he understands you, and it doesn't really matter if anyone else does. He kisses you and you know how much he loves you. He can talk to you about anything, and you will listen... and vice versa. If he had a bad day, then yours is bad too. He brings what you lack into the picture, and you give what he lacks. You complete each other. The sound of his voice brightens your day, and you can never, ever get enough kisses or hugs. But sometimes it's hard. The love you have for each other is always there, and through anger, sadness, despair, depression, happiness, boredom, whatever, love sees you through. Sometimes you have to compromise or sacrifice. It takes effort. It takes work. And if both are willing to work on the rough-spots, the good times are even better. A soulmate is not love at first sight. Love takes time, and the deeper and longer you love, the more sure you become of the fact that you have found your soulmate. I found mine, and I pray to God he doesn't let me get away... and I pray to God I never treat him badly again.
I need to see him. I haven't seen him in years, it seems. Okay, three days. But it's too long. When he's not around, I feel alone. Empty. Incomplete, even. I miss him with all my heart, all the time.
