The truth is all of us have our soul mates. This doesn’t mean that we have to marry our soul mate or anything like that. Our soul mate is not restricted only to opposite gender or to a romantic kind of relationship. It doesn’t work that way. Having a soul mate simply means having someone that you’re completely, without a doubt, compatible with. That person is someone that loves you unconditionally with or without your flaws. A soul mate is someone that knows and understands all your quirks and is not only fine with it but joins you in it. That person knows and feels what you are feeling without even having to ask; someone that not only sympathizes with you but empathizes.

Once you find your soul mate you will automatically feel complete. Like everything’s right in your life and that that person was the only missing piece of the puzzle.

Unfortunately, having a soul mate does not mean that they will stay with you forever. Some are lucky that their soul mates stay with them, but not everyone is given that privilege. The cruelest part of it all is that once your soul mate leaves you, you will never feel complete again. There would always be this hollow space within your being; a space that can only be filled and is only meant for that person.

Somehow you’d end up wishing that you have never crossed paths with your soul mate from the beginning because when that person is no longer with you the pain just won’t stop; it’s just there, torturing you.

I never thought that I would be one of those unlucky ones; those who would have to go through life without their soul mate. I believed that we would be together now, in the future, and forever. But I was a fool. It was pathetic of me to think that way. She’s gone…My soul mate.
