I am a firm believer in the idea that soul mates do not have to be bound together by romantic feelings. Love is not something that only comes to those who are dating. Love manifests itself in more ways than anyone could imagine.

So why can’t you and I be soulmates? Why is our relationship worth less than one built on dates and kisses on the lips? Though our love is completely platonic, I don’t see why it cannot be valued just the same.

To me, a soulmate is someone whom you cannot live without. Someone you would do anything for. Someone who you would give your happiness for without a second thought. The more I think about it, the more sure I become; you are my soulmate. And whether or not you feel the same way does not change the fact that I love you more than anyone on this earth.

And truth be told, it is a love that I did not ever imagine would spread so far. Far enough to fill my heart in even the most damaged places. I would have never known how much you would mean to me. I would have never guessed that you would someday give me a life worth fighting for. Because I never thought that a love built on video games and terrible movies would be so strong. But I see now how deep our roots have gone, how thick with memories they have grown. Maybe years of inside jokes and baking together has always been enough. Maybe a friendship as great as ours could be the next great love story. Because, although it is a different kind of love, it is a love just as grand. Just as strong. And I know that we were always meant to be best friends. Perhaps even soulmates.
