Everybody's got someone. Why don't I?

S o u l m a t e .

Definition: a person for whom one has a deep affinity, esp a lover, wife, husband, etc.

I can't help but think it's more than that.

But then again, maybe it's not all it's worked up to be.

I wouldn't know anyway.

They say that humans originally had four arms,

Four legs,

And a single head consisting of two faces.

But Zeus feared they were too powerful.

So he split the humans in two,

Forcing them to spend their eternities searching for the other half.

Sam's other half is Freddie.

And Freddie's other half is Sam.

Carly's other half is Griffin.

Griffin's other half is Carly.

Everybody's got someone.

Why don't I?

What about my other half?

Some nights I lie awake wondering about her.

Is she a red head?

A blonde?

A brunette?

Is she sweet and kind?

Or arrogant and abrasive?

Sometimes I wonder how long it will be until I find her.

If I'll have to travel the world,

Or if she lives right down the block.

But mostly, I wonder if she's even out there.

Maybe she's with the wrong man.

Maybe she's too old for me, or too young.

Maybe she's dead.

Or maybe she's not yet alive.

Maybe she lived centuries ago and I had been born too late.

Maybe she spent her whole life alone.

Maybe I'll spend my whole life alone.

Maybe I'll forever be Single Spencer,

The man with no lady to hold.

I push the covers off myself and get up from my bed

I make my way over to the window and look at the full moon.

She's out there.

I just know she is.
