Do you believe in soul mates?  The one person that is a perfect flawless fit, who renders you whole, causes you to believe in a happily-ever-after. 

Do you?

~*~*~

Some believe that a soul mate need not necessarily be one's lover; that a soul mate functions as the one who fills the void that exists in everyone. 

Others believe that the role of 'soul mate' can only be fulfilled by one who is both lover and friend – for where the caring of 'best friend' falls short; the intimacy of 'lover' carries over. 

Nevertheless, both believe that without the soul mate, we live as incomplete humans, always searching for that elusive something.

Yet no one knows what actually transpires when one finds his soul mate. 

Would each necessarily recognise the other?  Would there be a divine sign if the right person appeared? 

Some abhor the belief in love at first sight – a concept (to them) that defies reason.  Love is unfathomable, multi-faceted and profoundly complicated.  Can it in truth be grasped simply in an instant?

To claim to love so quickly appears shallow and immature; the love of youngsters who have not fully understood what it truly means to love someone, who think love is something amusing to be experimented with.

And then there are those who believe wholeheartedly in love at first sight.  They live entirely in the moment – for the feeling, the passion.  It overwhelms and encompasses.

For them, the feelings are everything – the attraction, the physical satisfaction like a tangible blow.

Which is true? Or truer?

Perhaps it is different for everyone and our questions remain unanswered. 

As some say, to each their own.

But from time to time the perfect person may pass us by simply because we are unwilling to take time to understand.
