Do you believe in "true love" or "soul mates"?
If so, do you believe that it's something that occurs only once in a lifetime?
I used to be very cynical about love, and in some ways maybe I still am. When I met my boyfriend (well, I guess he's technically an ex) it felt like we had known each other our entire lives. There was an immediate, intense connection. He said he loved me after less than a month and the shocked look on his face confirmed that he was being genuine (me being the stubborn fuck I am, I smiled and said thanks for fear of getting too serious too early).
No one has ever understood me the way he does, he even taught me how to love myself. He says I'm his soul-mate..that he knew it the second he saw me. You don't know me fellow BLers..but this is the kind of thing I scoff at. Soul mates...what a load of shit. But at the same time....
He just finished one year of a 13 year prison sentence (it will be reduced to 10..but still) and as much as I love him..I just can't wait that long. I can't put my life on hold and pay for his mistakes..but I'm afraid. Afraid I'll never love again, that I'll never experience that kind of happiness again. Afraid that I'm just destined to be alone.
Can you *truly* be in love more than once? Is there even such a thing as true romantic love?
