And, I totally agree with you on this: "To me, that is all I want or I can enjoy my life alone, because life is great without it still!" I want the real deal, the "great" thing. Hmmm ... this makes me think about a lot of stuff. Maybe it's time for another post about this. @ Virginia Rose: You are awesome! I love your romantic comment.

Yes in friendships and family as well. But I am talking about true love. Growing up in a family where the men in my life weren't very good I am looking very hard for the right person. I understand this person will have flaws, but to me, this person will shine so brightly it will be as if their flaws were meant for me, my love is so strong. Unconditional love is automatic, not something you work at. Yes, you will work, but not to hold your love together when it can never be broken. To me, that is all I want or I can enjoy my life alone, because life is great without it still! I believe I have already met this person but don't know if I will ever see them again. I hope to, but don't care otherwise. There is a brightness in my life that once wasn't there. Maybe I am being naive, and I tend to be that way, but I do believe in soulmates.

And, if you don't win, shoot your opponent Capone-style. ;) Ah, the things people believe about my beloved hometown. We're gangster, but we're not THAT gangster. Um, okay, maybe we are. Sometimes. @ Afroamericawriter: THANKS for getting down with the funky brown and leaving a comment. Love what you said about: "life throws you a curveball at times, so I don’t think you should have one person as your soulmate forever." Delicious words, my friend. Absolutely tasty. @ lamesabassman: Chicago-style voting: vote early, vote often. And, if you don’t win, shoot your opponent Capone-style. ;) Ah, the things people believe about my beloved hometown.

Do I believe in soulmates? Yes and No depending on where I am in life. If I'm in a committed relationship with a person, then I believe in it. But life throws you a curveball at times, so I don't think you should have one person as your soulmate forever. Hi Funky Brown:

dreamt of a woman
kinda like you
and you had
so many levels
till I could’nt find you
that’s when you smiled
and the light moved
the darkness aside
found you forever
but minus a day
payment due for me
behaving that way
’cause I did’nt look
close enough
to see….
your sensual glow
for all time …
just a shot away…..

lamesabassman……. ” for you flow like water as angels wish you so…. “

It's hard to believe in them until you actually find someone who makes you FEEL like you finally have a soulmate. And yes, there is definitely more than one person in this world for all of us, but our lives change, and with that, so do our needs and "perfect-for-me" opinions. Had I settled for one of those men from my past, I'd be horribly disappointed or unhappy now. Instead, I was patient and found that person who not only meets all those needs, but continually grows into the person I need him to be as we go along this road. Be patient, my friend...you not only deserve to find this, but WILL, once YOU are ready (and I suspect you're not quite yet...).
