My Lost Soulmate

Long long ago I was dating a fairly nice gentleman. Tall and good looking, some of his personality seemed to match some of mine. I did not have any romantic feelings about him, but it was nice to have a friend.

One day he suggested picking up his cousin and his cousin's girlfriend. Loving to socialize, I agreed.

We walked into his cousin's house early in the morning while he was still sleeping. A few moments later I heard his voice call out and I knew without a doubt, it was my other half. My heart jumped. I felt weak. My knees started to buckle. There was nothing I could say, as we were both dating other people. I do not believe I could have said anything concrete at that time anyway, I was stunned.

We ended up in Coney Island at an amusement park. He suggested a rather dangerous ride to his girlfriend and when both she and my date refused, he asked me to go on it with him. My heart beat and did another jump or two. I could hardly breathe. This was really new to me, I had not felt anything even close to this since I experienced my very first love. With my first love it grew from a friendship into a romance. This was different because I felt all this when I heard his voice, before I had ever seen him. I was powerful enough to knock a wig off my head. I was in fifth heaven and floating. I actually went on a ride I would never even consider going on just to be near him. The day ended and not too long after, so did my relationship with his cousin.

It took a while for me to get my equilibrium back.

It was many years later when we met again. This time he was married and it was impossible to actually be any more than friends.

I was in my apartment one day listening to a neighbor singing. I had never heard a voice as beautiful as this one. The fantasy I had was that it was the voice of a Star hiding out in, our less than exclusive, neighborhood. Every night I would sit by the window and listen as he sang. I was always amazed there was such a talent so close by. I wondered if I would ever be lucky enough to meet this incredible unknown Star.

One day I was walking with my roommate around the corner when someone jumped out and grabbed my hand.

I could not believe it was him and almost lost my balance. I felt so weak I almost fainted.

"Hi, do you remember me?" he asked.

"Of course I do, it was about six or seven years ago we met and went to Coney Island on a double date."

He seemed surprised I remembered him, to him I was just another girl. The memories of our times together in other lives or realms was not known to him at all, I thought. Later that week I found out it was his voice I had been listing to every night. Though we could never have a real relationship, I know he was my other half. I am as sure now as I was the day I heard his voice the first time. Perhaps there will be another soul mate in this lifetime but it is hard to imagine anything as powerful as that experience.
