Struggling Against Time and Tide.

We were soul mates. But we were soul mates who were not meant to be together.

Maybe in our next lifetime.

If that's so...then maybe in our next lifetime, instead of just saying hello, or asking for my phone number, could you just say Will you be mine?

Or better yet, just ask me to Marry you.

Oh dear oh dear.
Let me share some attitides. also taken from another blog, about soulmates.

"Jewels lie amidst the gravel on the path we take
When we meet as soulmates sharing the night
Our completion we find in the love we make
Whilst in doubt's shadow faith remains our light
Nothing has ever been easy on this journey we have taken
But in all that seemed wrong we found all that is right
Look at us still standing, though we were forsaken
Behold how providence vindicates us by way of delight
When the trials of life would make your heart doubt
Hang on to all that we have come to believe
For within us dwells the truth that dispels the clouds
And sighs of the tapestry our passion will weave
There are no second thoughts to make me turn away
Because you mean more to me now than ever before
I am steadfast here beside you come what may
And when the day is done it is you I am looking for
Yes, jewels lie amidst the gravel, much joy amidst the pain
None that besets us can overshadow this our treasure
Which will lead us at day's end where entwined again
Enlaced shall our arms be as we lie enrapt together
Jewels amidst the gravel, my provender for the voyage
My pledge to abide in you ever in all that you become
Let the love we know become our wellspring of courage
And we shall stand together again when this journey is done"

"I once questioned why He let us ever meet when it appears that we can never be completely together. I question this no longer. I realise now that He has provided us a chance to never have missed each other though our jourenys be on different roads. No divergence shall steal us away from each other, my beloved. It may appear at cursory glance as what was never meant to be, but a closer look now tells me that we are meant to be, no matter what we are commanded to undertake. Indeed, the utterance of no matter what takes on so much a deeper meaning, that I am convinced that we will walk these roads together, no matter what we may have planned."

"Perhaps we were searching and perhaps were we not
Maybe we were just sailing on the ocean of our thoughts
We said that we were only looking for a conversation
But maybe instead we found a grander revelation

From days to nights to days spent loving you
I discovered all the good that dwelt within you
You rekindled the hopes that had given up trying
The dreams long buried found wings and were flying

Maybe with us the rules will have to be broken
As we can't shut our eyes now we have awoken
Can't turn away, we're too far in and in too deep
Overwhelmed by a love we know is for keeps

Maybe there is a new way for us to belong
Perhaps there is another means for us to hold on
Maybe unlucky, but maybe we are truly blessed
Maybe we have found what's hidden from the rest

When I look around me and see the loveless
I know for sure that He really must love us
He gave days and nights to celebrate our hearts
Maybe we found what we sought from the start

Maybe there is a higher call that we must answer
Keep promises we made but still not surrender
This sweet love we have will be what keeps us
Going ever stronger to wherever it may lead us

What we have almost never came to pass
But against the odds we've been given this chance
Maybe this time there is no wrong or right
Maybe all we need is what we're willing to try

Then walk with me my beloved, upon this road before us
Even if we cannot tell what awaits beyond the bend for us
I have more faith in you than this journey can overshadow
And we can take whatever that comes our way tomorrow

Maybe we were looking for our better selves out there
Maybe we knew we had more than enough to share
Then maybe chances shall be enough for us to go by
Who knows we will make it, my beloved, you and I"

A tinge of overload, I shall concede.


But there must be something to rejoice in, some thing to be thankful for.

of course, i can't deny that some good has come out of this mess. I just don't know it yet.

maybe the idea of having a "soul mate"... that idea of having just one person who is perfect for you, and whom you are perfect for, is just overrated. don't get me wrong, it is comforting to know that there is that one person out there who can connect with you on all levels. But that's just the problem isn't it? There is only one. I, however, choose to believe that having a soul mate is an idea concocted by the very people who can't seem to latch on to a partner. Call me a sceptic, but i'm inclined to believe so. Come one, JUST ONE? the universe has got to be more reasonable than that.

Yes, Ms Morris
Right you are. There is not just one person who is right for you. Else people who have been bereaved would never remarry. We know those who don't are merely exercising a choice not born of diminishing suitors.
I once thought that my soulmate didn't exist, that to walk around with a grocery list of prerequisites was prejudicial to the good people can bring into our lives. Oh, the error of my ways!!
All I am saying is, if you actually have found this soulmate, rejoice.Some of us never get to meet The One.
Hmmmm, Ms Morris, have I wronged you in what I have written?

no no, my dear...

No wrong has been done ;)

Thank you Ms Morris.
I am after all from a breed clumsy with self-absorption and pathalogical verbosity. :D
