Let me ramble for a moment and be as coherent as my highly anxious state can be.
Have you ever had a timeless intimate moment with a total stranger?
I have occassionally met a girl at some odd nexus of the universe that granted a degree of sharing and intimacy with that girl that has gone way beyond what I have experienced with any of my actual Significant Others.
Some of my girlfriends would have wept at knowing that they would never relate to me to that degree.
It was like a bubble of time and space where we had a sympatico so complete, it transcended words, and I am bungling trying to meaningfully share a mere echo of the experience with you without lessening it with something trite and cliche.
But they were just moments. Snapshots of knowing that we are not alone in the universe. The feeling of someone who never had to get to know you, being inside your head with you because they share the same things you do.
You stare into each other's shadows and know exactly what are in them, because each of you mirror the light the other so highly there is no room for darkness.
But in most cases like ships passing in the nights you both move on . . .
That is what my idea of a soul mate would be. Its along the lines of Valk's reference to the movie "Serendipity" that type of soul mate.
And there probably are many out there. There are an awful lot of people.
But AXJules! Think on the movie Serendipity. Fate may have introduced them, but it took immense personal effort for them to be together. They both had to leave their present relationships on the verge of marriage. (sorry for movie spoiler).[
