I was lucky, I met my soulmate and we were together seven years. It wasn't feeling all gooey, that's just the lust part. It's accepting each other totally, being willing to share anything with that person. It's putting their happiness first and having that being reciprocated.

Steve and I were finishing each other's sentences the night we met. We had differences, but totally agreed on the important issues. We were both willing to walk through fire for each other. I knew almost from the beginning our relationship couldn't last. He wanted children and that was something I couldn't give him. Because of his grandfather's religious beliefs, whom Steve adored, adoption was out of the question. So, I cherished every second of those seven years, broke it off when it was time, stayed friends with him after. Went to his wedding and celebrated the happiness he and his bride would have, with both of us knowing that no other person could ever fill either of us the way we did.

Have more than one soulmate? I don't think so. Maybe be close but I just can't imagine having that kind of fulfillment, closeness and sense of completeness more than once in a lifetime.
