(More than one person in the world could be a candidate to be The One, it's just a matter of which one you happen to meet.)

See, I think that it is entirely possible to meet "The One" and have a love that blows everything else away. So you're together and things are good, and then eventually it's just not any more. There may be no real reason why; it just happens. Then, you meet "The Next One" and that blows everything away. You can still look back fondly on the first relationship, but you are no longer who you were when you were in it and it just doesn't fit you any more.
So I guess my question is: why do people think that you only get one big love in your lifetime? My theory is that there can be more than one, at different times. That doesn't lessen the importance of any of them.
OMG, it sounds like I'm a serial monogamist, huh?
