Soul Mates

I always used to think that the term "Soul Mate" was being used by people that were just in love and feeling goofy. It's like calling someone "schnookums" or "babycakes" or any other term. I never thought there was really a soul mate. That was until February.
In February, I first met Arleah in person. We really hit it off. We had been chatting for a while and we became close and we seemed to get along fine after a period of just the opposite. Anyone can chat and get along with someone. That doesn't really show that you are compatible, it just shows that you can talk about things. When we met though, everything seemed to go great. We had good conversation and we really enjoyed each other's company. At that time, I thought there was a great chance that her and I would become a good couple with a really strong relationship.
Since then, we continued to chat and really got to know each other well. She got to know the real me and I got to know the real Arleah. Our feelings grew stronger every time we chatted. At first I was worried that it was only me that was feeling this way. I learned that it was mutual!
We were able to get together again in October. Well, it was just amazing. Everything we did just seemed like the right thing to do no matter what it was. We could have been eating, walking, swimming, talking, or even just sitting together and it seemed like there was nothing else I would rather be doing.
I was able to meet 2 aunts, 2 brothers, a sister-in-law, a nephew and 3 nieces. I never felt so comfortable meeting family before. Arleah didn't feel the need to watch over me as if to protect me from anything I might say wrong. She had a confidence about me that she was not afraid to let me be me in front of her family. I was also able to meet one of her friends for dinner. It was ease to talk to him since he talked British (hahaha).
All in all I had a wonderful visit spending time with her and meeting her friends and family. I hope next time I can meet more friends that I have heard of like Beng and Sara and some others she has mentioned. I also can't wait to meet her mother. She seems so nice on the phone and is really a pleasure to talk to.
Well, after this visit I really had to rethink my opinion of soul mates. I think I found mine.
I love you hon.
