will there be greater love than this?

I lost someone, whom I believe was my soulmate. Even though I never believed in that sort of thing, once he was gone, I realized how special our relationship was. I fought my feelings about it for a long time, thinking "hey, he's just another guy" but really, he was the only person I felt any kind of meaningful connection with (including all of my family and friends throughout my life).

I guess I'm wondering if anyone has ever had this type of connetion with more than one person -or- if all other relationships seem to fall short in comparison. I feel like I've lost the one person that knew exactly what I needed, even when I didn't know what that was myself. We didn't have the healthiest relationship by text book standards, but we had something that was special beyond words. I think I might always feel that something is missing in future relationships because I won't have the same experience as in my past.

My ex left me, i was single for about a year, found someone else and never looked back.

Point being, yes you do feel the same again, in time...just dont let it be when the relationship is over that you realize that.

I have the same feelings for a girl who is gone aswell. I cannot say for sure that this amazing feeling will return for us a second time, but I sure hope so heh. If you HAVE to dwell on anything about him try and make it the good memories you two had until you can finally move on, it's all that will comfort you really. Best wishes for you!

Yes, there will be.

You could go on to find an even greater love, than the one you describe here....who knows?

I don't think that people can look back and reflect on who there one great love was, until they have lived the majority of their life....for you don't know who is going to come into your life at any stage...

However, at 32, I'd say that I have only ever experienced 'one' really deep connection, so far....
I doubt I will find that again....but one never knows.
