Soul Mates

by J and L

I had a dream of finding my one life long friend, my partner, my soul mate who would be there for me in my time of need and who could delight, thrill and entertain me in a unique way. In addition to conversation on a deep level and an understanding of my little idiosyncrasies and irritations that in turn strengthened our bond and sincere connection with each other.

I never realised that in my search to find her, I would one Sunday afternoon oblivious that this would actually be the day I meet my soul mate. There she was standing across the crowd, eyes engrossed on me not moving, blinking. Just a mysterious stare from across the room. My heart racing realising in fact that it was me she were fixated on.

Slowly and carefully moving across the room towards her trying not to make it obvious but still intent on meeting her with my now purpose… Wanting to open with – “Will you marry me?” – How did I know yet, not even knowing her name? How did I know she was the one? How did I know? I somehow just did as if sent by some mysterious force to be in the same place at the same time on the same day… Someone had been picking up on my subconscious messages into the universe to find my life long friend and soul mate. That someone sent me there for her that Sunday. Someone sent her there for me.

The minute I learnt her name and had her number I txt her with the words… “Louisa Grow Old With Me” as if being written down would strengthen the message wanting to be conveyed. We had so much fun that evening, that seemed to go on forever. We danced, we hugged, we kissed, we spoke, we laughed, but most of all - we knew…

A few days passed and we got in contact once again. Our bond just grew and grew and continued to get stronger day by day. After a few months I asked her to join me in a trip back home to meet my parents, to which she was more than delighted to accept. On our return we moved in together and things just seemed so right! Louisa had now become the face on the woman in my dreams I had always dreamed of finding. She is loving, generous, adorable and most of all, my best friend! We are planning to get engaged this year and to be married soon after.

I won’t spend my life waiting for an angel to descend, searching for a rainbow with out an end, gazing at the stars up in the sky wondering of love will pass me by… now that I have found you I will call off the search.. You are the tiger burning bright deep in the forest of my night. You sleep by the silent cooling streams in the darkness of my dreams, all of my life I never knew you were the dream I would see coming true. I was the one who looked so hard, I could not see, and now I could never live with out the love you give to me. I lived like a wild and lonely soul, lost in a dream beyond control. You are the one who brought me home. From now until forever... S'agapo my Girl..
