Is that you soulmate?

There was a man who put a lot of faith in true love and decided to take his time waiting for the right girl. Although no one showed up, he was certain there would be someone special out there. His ex-girlfriend would come back from Vancouver every Christmas to find him.

He was aware that she still had some hope of getting back together with him in the past. He had no intention of deceiving her in any way. As a result, whenever she returned, he would always enlist the assistance of one of his female friends. That went on for a few years, and the guy would get a new girl to pretend to be his romantic interest every year. As a result, whenever the ex-girlfriend paid him a visit, she would be led to believe that their relationship was over. The girl handled all of those fairly well, frequently attempting to casually tease him about his various girlfriends, or so it appeared! In point of fact, the girl was too proud to admit that she frequently wept covertly whenever she observed him with another girl.

Nonetheless, she returned each Christmas in the hope of rekindling a romance. But she was disappointed each time she returned to Vancouver. She ultimately decided that she could no longer participate in that game. As a result, she went up to him and said that despite all the years, he was the only man she had ever loved. Despite the fact that the man was aware of her feelings for him, he was surprised and had never anticipated her reaction. He always believed that over time, she would gradually forget about him and accept that everything between them was over. He remembered why he had rejected her in the first place—she wasn't the one he wanted—despite being moved by her undying love for him and wanting to accept her once more. As a result, he hardened his heart and cruelly declined her offer.

Three years have passed since then, and the girl has never been seen again. They never even exchanged letters. The guy went on with his life, still looking for the one, but he missed the girl deep down. He went alone to his friend's Christmas party in 1995.

Hey, why are we all on our own this year? Which of your girlfriends are you with? One of his friends inquired,

"What happened to that Vancouver girl who comes every Christmas to be with you?" His friend's inquiries about her made him feel warm and at ease, but he just kept going.

After that, he met one of his many girlfriends, whom he had previously asked to act as his steady. He wanted to ignore her so much—not because he was rude, but because he was no longer at ease with those girlfriends at that point. It was almost as though they were evaluating him. When she saw him, the girl yelled for him across the room. He went up to acknowledge her because he could not avoid her.

How are you doing? Do you like the party? The girl inquired.

He said, "Yes, sure." It must have been the whiskey in her hand because she was a little drunk.

She went on, "Why...?" This year, don't you need someone to pretend to be your girlfriend? Then he responded, "No, that is no longer necessary..." He was interrupted before he could continue, "Oh yes! It's likely that he has a girlfriend. You haven't been looking for one in years, haven't you?

The man raised his head and gazed directly at the inebriated girl, beaming as if he had just struck gold. He said, "Yes, you are correct!" In recent years, I have not been looking for anyone. The man dashed across the floor and out the door with that, leaving the lady perplexed.

He came to the conclusion that he had already found the woman of his dreams, and that she had been the Vancouver girl all along! He was awoken by something the drunk lady said. He has always been with his girl. When he realized she had left, he didn't bother to look any further because of this. He wasn't looking for a particular girl! He desired perfection, and it was perfection! The relationship should be worked on by both parties. He made the decision to contact her right away after realizing that he had neglected someone who was so significant to him.

All of his thoughts were filled with fear. He was afraid that she might have moved on to someone else or that they might no longer be the same. For the first time, he was afraid of losing someone. It was particularly difficult to make an international call because it was Christmas Eve. He tried numerous times without giving up. He made it through in the end, precisely at midnight. The girl broke down in tears when he told her how much he loved her. She appeared to have never reconciled with him! She never gave up on waiting for him, even after all that time had passed. He was ecstatic to meet her and begin their new life together. To join her, he made the decision to fly to Vancouver.

Their lives had never been happier! However, their happy time was brief. He got a call from her father two days before he was scheduled to fly to Vancouver. She collided head-on with a drunk driver's vehicle. After being in a coma for six hours, she died.

The man was devastated because he had lost everything. Why was his fate playing such cruel games? He denied even one last glimpse of her and cursed the heavens for taking her from him. He cursed so cruelly! How he sinned against the gods! How he resented himself for not realizing his error sooner!

This occurred in 1996. Moral: Make the most of what you have. People who wait, people who fear, people who are sad, people who are happy, and people who love will all run out of time. But people who love will live forever

For those of you who have a special someone in your life, cherish that person and every moment you spend together, as anything can happen at any time in life. You might do something that you regret deeply only to realize it is too late.
