I don't believe this is necessarily wrapped up in one person.
I think it's possible for your soul mate to drift in and out of your life embodied by several different people.
Do you always *know* that your life is being touched by your soul mate? No, not on a conscious level. Our lives are touched every day by the random people that walk through the door. I can only hope that my life makes a change in the positive direction when my soul mate passes by.
The concept of "one true love" seems a bit out there. I *want* to believe in it but the person you meet and fall in love with today will not be the same a year from now. People evolve. Love needs to bend and grow in order to accomodate this evolution.
Ultimately, the chances of finding your one "true" love are slim (in my opinion). I only ask that I find someone that understands me, teaches me, and learns from me.
True friend. *sigh* Finding one true friend may be more difficult than finding one true soul mate....
