Do each one of us have a soul mate? and the question is do we find them?

“The warrior of light unwittingly takes a false step and plunges into
the abyss. Ghosts frighten him and solitude torments him. His aim had 
been to fight the Good Fight, and he never imagined that this would 
happen to him, but it did. Shrouded in darkness, he makes contact with 
his master. ‘Master, I have fallen into the abyss', he says. ‘The 
waters are deep and dark'. ‘Remembering one thing,' replies his master. 
‘ You do not drown simply by plunging into water, you only drown if you 
stay beneath the surface'. And then the warrior uses all his strength 
to escape from his predicament'.

What is closure? 

How do I get it? 

When do I say enough and move forward? 

I think it's when even though it's easier to hold onto something or
someone who's been a major part of my life for a long time. I just 
can't breathe with him anymore.I feel like something terrible is going 
to happen when he is just being himself. I sit by his side, and look 
away and picture myself running on a beach. 

I am free. My spirit is smiling and then I turn my face and reality hits
me. The beach might be waiting but I need my closure. 

What am I so afraid of? 

I can see the mountains in the distance. I can feel the sea breeze, and
it all awaits me. But I need to walk to it. I need to walk forward 
without any baggage. But what if my baggage has become a part of me. 

How do I let go of it? 

How do I make him understand that he is not a part of me. When he in
return believes I belong to him. How do I convince someone who believes 
that I am the one for him, that I believe he isn't the one for me. 

I know I will be fine without him. I have everything to gain, but he
wont let me go. He believes I am the one for him. The one who's going 
to fight his demons. 

But what about my demons? Who's going to fight mine if I am fighting
his? Maybe he's right. Maybe I am the one for him. But what if I know 
he isn't the one for me. 

What do I do then? 

A relationship, what is about? I thought when you are with someone, they
are supposed to make you happy.Then why does this feel all wrong? maybe 
because it is.Do you hurt the one person you claim to love to the point 
where they are left feeling completly helpless. is that love? 

What is happiness? 

Someone to hold me in the darkness and tell me soon it would lift and he
would be by my side with a smile. Through all my storms. Someone I 
could trust with my soul, my heart would understand and my spirit would 
dance with joy in his presence. 

What is a soul mate? 

Is a soul mate someone who understands you without you having to say it
out loud. Do they really exist? Then where is mine? A friend of mine 
told me that when she met him their souls recognized each other.And I 
believe her because I see their love. when they are together their 
energy is so strong that you too want to be in love like them.All you 
do is smile around them as they are always smiling together.They are to 
be married later this year. Wow, isn't that beautiful? 

What do I want? 

I want someone who loves me for me. Who loves my good and understands my
bad habits. Someone who makes me smile all the time. Who makes me
