If you had a Chance to Get Back Together Again with Your Soul Mate…
Would you?
I had a very interesting conversation with George on Saturday.
Back in December, Kim Petersen wrote a piece about ‘feeling someone with your soul’. This had been George and me. For seven and a half years we did everything together. I felt so safe and secure with him, more than I had with any other person before. When we were apart I would think of him from time to time but I didn’t feel panicked that we weren’t together. With others, I would wonder where they are and what they’re doing. I had been cheated on. A lot.
Our first weekend away together George took us out of the DC area to the mountains of Virginia. We hit a winery, took a tour, tried some samples. He came out with two bottles. I didn’t really taste anything that I liked but it was all good. We had fun. We spent the night in a B&B.
One Mother’s Day he had me come over to his house and I had a four-day weekend there. He cooked and did my laundry for me. I didn’t have to lift a finger until Monday morning when it was time to go back to work.
If we were both tied up with our lives (me working and going to college and him with his military career) he would pick me up in between homework assignments and we would run errands together and talk in between…
