Beautiful, Michelle:

Brings to mind a verse in a song I wrote about my friend, Luke Fause when he was living in Hoboken and I'd come over from Manhattan:

   If we had money, we'd stop for a beer
   Or walk by the water and sit on the pier
   Sit and we'd talk, 'till there's no more to say
   But we never needed words, anyway

To me, a soulmate:
   Helps you become the a.)person you were created to be
                        b.)person you were meant to be
   or c.) Realize your potential

Depending on your beliefs, you can pick any of the three statements (or all three.) I believe that every one of us has the seeds of greatness within us. Soul mates water the seeds.

Which reminds me of a verse of another song I wrote many years ago:

   Share the water, plant the seed
   All who hunger to be freed
   And all who ask will be released
   Love is the beginning
