Ode to finally finding my soulmate..

When I looked up soulmate in Wikipedia, which maybe helpful here, it says soulmates can be platonic as well as romantic or sexual.

Compatibility figures most. And that does not mean identical personality. I think it means being able to compensate for each others weaknesses and draw on each others strengths.

The bond is very strong. And soulmates will protect each other at all costs, though not at the expense of others. And of course one may die before the other. The loss of a soulmate will give pain beyond. But they know they will be united in the next life.

It goes beyond trust. Anyone can say they trust each other. And they invariably don’t. ( I met loads of people at work who said that, and my alarm bells went up immediately.) I bet you never hear two soulmates say you can trust me!

Read the poem Annabelle Lee by Edgar Allen Poe. That gives the best understanding soulmates I’ve ever found. I have a post on it, (though it’s context is Goths too).

I hope that helps a little, Jemima. Ask me again in a couple of years.

Did you write that, Gemma?
