The One

I'm 37 years old.  I have been through many, many relationships..many a times when marriage was just a heartbeat away..or even a time after which marriage had passed....  And despite all of this, I sit here writing today, single and introspective.

Ever since I was a kid, I always imagined and believed in soul mates.  Where will she be, where will I find her, how will she look....I envisioned meeting her, falling in love, and living my life with her always.

There have been times in my life that I thought I met the one...a few times in high school, a time with a girl who was in love with another guy who I despised, another, a childhood friend, who one night I had this amazing everlasting conversation, and perhaps a few more.

It makes me wonder, is there more than one soulmate?  The answer...perhaps.  Perhaps there is more than one.  Perhaps there is opportunity to meet more than one in ones lifetime.

But honestly, that is what keeps the hope alive.  I've been tarnished, heartbroken, and I know I've broken hearts, and probably even come off as a bad person.  But in the end, my heart, my conscious, that inner speak, whatever it is, has prevented me from committing to life.

That faith in true love, true soulmates, true companionship, deeply exists inside me.  And that is what keeps me going every day...the hope, the belief, that even I, one day, will meet the one...the companion...a love, that will always be something special to me.

Mark Twains famous quote:
"Twenty years from now you will be more disapointed by the things that you didnt do than the ones that you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream Discover" 

Love...It is what what drives me to do more more, to explore , to dream to discover...in search for the one.

I will find her, somewhere in this world.
