"The One? Or "Your Soul Mate?

[valkyrie]

I have been in love more than once, probably twice for real. The first time, I did consider him to be "the one" and he was the one for many years, but I just sort of lost the feeling after a while. I don't really know why or how that happened, but it did.

Now looking back, I wonder if he was the one for that time, or if he never was the one but I just convinced myself that he was because he was there.

Does that make sense?

Really, though, I don't believe that there is "The One" for anybody. I think that there are different ones at different times in your life. I do not believe that there is one "soul mate" for everyone. I think that there are different people who fill that role in our lives, and I believe that nothing really lasts forever. Even if you get married thinking that your spouse is "the one" you could feel differently down the road.
