I believe in soulmates. I prefer to call them soulfriends because then you get more than one. ;)

But yeah, there are people you meet that change your life. That blow your mind because they are so inspiring, kindred or synced with you. They may last a life time or they may last a weekend.

Billy is a long time friend of mine. We dated back in high school. It was very hard breaking up with him because I didn't have a good reason. I was young. I knew he wasn't the person I was going to marry even though there wasn't anything wrong with him. I knew it would make us both miserable. No matter how much we cared about each other we didn't meet each other's romantic needs.
To this day he holds a place in my heart somewhere between platonic lover and little brother. (which sounds odd, I know)

And there's others as well. So yeah, I totally get where your coming from and agree.
