Soul Mates? Lobsters?

I sit here... aged 41... single... and wondering...

Is there such thing as a soul mate?  Is there that one lobster out there for everyone?

And what if that lobster got away?  Or you didn't realize that lobster was for you at the time?

I've been dreaming lately of a guy from my past.  One that I haven't seen in a solid 18 years.  Yet, when I dream about a guy, it's about him, and it's a super realistic dream.

It's unnerving.  I don't want to be thinking about this person.  I don't know this person in a post-university setting - I don't know what kind of person he's come to be.  Heck - I don't even know if I remember what he was even like back in the day. 

It's been 18 years.

But I do know that he's been occupying my thoughts - a lot.

More than anyone that you haven't seen in 18 years should.

Maybe he was my lobster?  And he got away.

I'll probably never know.
