The Soulmate

The Prologue To My Novel

In life there are a large number of people out there that we can each settle down with and marry. We can live a happy life with that person and remain loyal and caring whilst raising a family. There are also a small number of people out there who have the potential to be your soulmate.

Your soulmate is someone you immediately 'click' with. Someone who you understand and who understands you. You 'get' their emotions before they need to tell you and know exactly what drives them, what incentivises them in any given situation. By knowing this you can anticipate the pain and the pleasure that they will feel and can positively influence those emotions throughout your life together. 

Sub consciously and through the open conversation that you can only have with that person, you know everything about each other. You fast become each others best friends, someone to rant to, to support and most importantly to listen to. You think about this person when they are not there. The first thing you think of in the morning or if you wake at night. You can't control it. It becomes embedded.

The level of attraction from this decisive click is hugely enhanced. Where physical attraction between two people in the original 'settling down' bracket fades over time as you get used to each other, even take each other for granted, the attraction between soul mates doesn't fade. It's increased by the mental ability to tune in. The fact that someone gets you is immensely attractive and only gets deeper and deeper the longer you spend with that person.

If you ever find one fight really hard to keep them
