My soulmate

source

There lived a boy and a girl (19 and 17). They weren't so handsome or beautiful, just an ordinary lonely boy and girl. But they believed that somewhere in the world there lived the lived their soulmate. Yes, they believed in a miracle. And that miracle actually happened.

One day the two came upon each other on the corner of a street.

They sat on a park bench, held hands, and told each other their stories for hours. They were not lonely anymore. They had found and been found by their soulmate. What a wonderful thing it is to find and be found by your soulmate. It’s a cosmic miracle.

As they sat and talked, a tiny sliver of doubt took root in their hearts: Was it really all right for one’s dreams to come true so easily?

“Let’s test ourselves - just once the boy said If we really are each other’s soulmate, then sometime, somewhere, we will meet again and when that happens, and we’ll marry then and there. What do you think?”

“Yes,” she said.And so they parted.

The test was utterly unnecessary, because they truly were meant to be, and it was a miracle that they had ever met.

One day, the both became sick, and after drifting between life and death they lost all memory of their earlier years.

With time, they were able to acquire again the knowledge and feeling that qualified them to return as full-fledged members of society.

Time passed, and soon the were 33 and 31.

One beautiful morning they passed each other in the very center of a street. Each felt a rumbling in their chest. And they knew:

She is my soulmate.

He is my soulmate.

But the glow of their memories was far too weak, and without a word, they passed each other, disappearing into the crowd. Forever.
