I Knew He Was My Soulmate!
Submitted by: C J T
Cambridge, UKI'm 30 years old, I'm a songwriter from the UK.
I met my boyfriend nearly 5 years ago and felt an instant connection. We both did. It was so obvious and I had never felt more sure of my feelings before. But, the timing was wrong. I didn’t realise at the time that he couldn’t be with me because there was so much more he needed to discover about himself and the world. I wanted to do it with him, but I had to let him go and do it on his own. We had only known each other for about 5 months when he left my life. We had never even officially been together, we’d just talked about how we would be together ‘one day’. Everyone told me I was crazy for believing it, but I did! I totally believed one day we would be together.
I remember the day we said goodbye. I had a horrible feeling I wouldn’t see him for a very long time and I was right. Although there was some communication in the following months where we’d express our feelings, it was never the commitment I had dreamed about. I can’t tell you how frustrating and sad that time was. And so confusing too!
He went travelling and lived in other countries. I moved to Australia for 2 years. Our lives were totally separate and we stopped speaking for 2 and a half years. I don’t think a single day went by where I didn’t think of him. All along I had a knowing feeling that we’d meet again. We both met other people and had other relationships, but I knew nothing compared to our connection.
About 2 and a half years later, I asked the Universe for a sign if I should message him or not. The first thing that came to my head was ‘green monkey’! So random, but I went with it. I went to a random fairground in Australia. I played a basketball game and guess what I won!? A green monkey toy!! I couldn’t believe it!!! So I messaged him out of the blue. Nothing had changed, we both still felt exactly the same. He was so happy to hear from me. It felt magic to be reconnected even if we were on different parts of the planet. We talked about meeting but I knew the timing was still wrong. This happened a few times. Talking, nearly meeting, then not.
Then finally, one day, something was different. I had honestly let go and accepted that maybe I was wrong. Maybe we would not be together although I didn’t really want to believe that. But really, I just let it go.
Then he wrote to me with a huge apology and we discovered that for the first time in years, we would be in the same place at the same time, home! The UK.
When we met, it was magic and mind blowing. Nearly 4 years had passed and it was like we were long lost lovers, so happy to be reunited. He introduced me to his whole family and I spent Christmas with them. I played them songs I’d written over the years and felt so happy to finally be there. It was so easy. I felt so loved by him and his whole family.
The funny thing was that I had visualised being there at Christmas every single year and finally I was there! And it felt exactly as I had imagined it would. On Boxing Day he asked me to be his girlfriend and said he couldn’t be without me anymore.
Since then our love has just been getting stronger. We have had so much fun and so many adventures already and I am so grateful that he is in my life. I am visualising the next stage of our relationship and I will write again when it has manifested.
You must not listen to people who don’t know how you feel. Only you know. You can trust your intuition and trust the Universe. I am forever grateful that the Universe has kept our love so safe and I know it always will.
By the way, I visualised being able to write this story on here too, and here I am, it’s done!
