Is She My Soulmate?

I remember when I was in high school I use to hear my friends telling stories that they have met their soulmates. I can see them talking about their soulmates with a glow in their eyes. I asked myself, what is a soulmate? Who could be my soulmate?

I defined soulmate as a person meant for you…A spiritual partner. But still questions in my head started to pop one after the other…How do you recognize your soulmate? Can one plan a soulmate? Is it real? Whenever the subject of soulmates came up, I was always interested and eager to know about it. I had no answers and started to ask my friends who have been telling each other that they are now happy because they are with their soulmates. They told me that when you meet your soulmate, you feel like you have known him for so long. It is as if you have met each other a long time ago and meet again. Some say it is your partner in a journey of love that never ends…a special kind of love, a love that brings growth to yourself and the one you love.

So I started searching for that twin love. I was in college when I started to meet different girls of my age. I started dating some of them hoping I would find that wonderful feeling of having a soulmate. I have dated quite a number of girls but this one is special. Her name is Shane. She is a happy go lucky Fil-Chinese girl with cute chinky eyes and long black hair. She is heartbroken when I first met her. I met her at a coffee shop near our campus. She was staring blankly at the wall of the shop with some tears in her eyes. Concerned, I approached her to comfort her. I was afraid at the first time I took a step towards her. As soon as I was inches from her I begin to shake. It was the strangest feeling I have felt in my entire life. This was my first time to approach a girl crying and I don’t even know her. I ask her if she’s alright. But as I asked her that question she started to cry a little bit louder and I begin to feel ashamed. Luckily the store owner and the two of us are the only persons in the coffee shop. I was surprised when she began to tell her stories about her boyfriend who recently broke up with her. They broke up because she found out that her boyfriend was cheating on her. More tears started rolling down her eyes, at the same time more costumers are starting to settle inside the store. People looked at us with their brows furled. They think I made her cry but I didn’t mind them. It was then that we begin to know each other. We became close and started dating. She told me how thankful she was that we met and that she is back to herself again as a happy go lucky person. She told me that she fell in love with me. And I told her that I feel the same way too. The feelings we had are similar. I mean we both feel the same way. It’s as if we have known each other for so long that the first time we met was like being reunited again. For me, the trembles I felt when I first approach her was a sign. She is meant for me and I was meant for her. I don’t care what Webster says about soulmates. I know she is my soulmate. I believe that I have met her before in the past and we are destined to be together.
