My Soulmate...

Of course I believe in soulmates. I've seen it, and I believe that I've found mine. I also believe that you don't have to choose to be with your soulmate, and I think you can be happy with someone other than your soulmate. I know this couple, named Harry and Irene. They are my heroes, and they give me hope.

Harry and Irene were high school sweethearts, but they broke up after they graduated for reasons unknown. They both moved on, got married, had children, had failed marriages, and go divorced. They happened to reconnect, and now they have been happily married for five years. And the love between them is still so intense that you can feel it just sitting with them. It's not uncomfortable at all, it actually gives me a warm feeling inside. The way that they look at each other makes you grateful that you're there just to experience what that's supposed to be like. They appreciate each other and communicate. They do activities together and apart. They trust each other. And they always say "I love you."

They're my inspiration because one day, I want to have a love like theirs. I truly believe that I've found my soulmate. He's my rock. He was my best friend before we ever started dating, and I could always count on him. I trust him explicitly and I confided in him more that I had ever confided in anyone. We had inside jokes and could communicate without ever speaking a word. We would be totally content doing dishes or cooking together, or even studying together, just because we were in each others' presence. I could literally feel his pain, and he could feel mine. We aren't together right now, for reasons outside of the two of us, but I have faith that we'll get back together. Harry and Irene give me that hope.
