Meeting late

Maybe both of them surmised the existence of the other or maybe sometimes there was someone else that resembled that one. It was difficult to say if that was the case later when they met as even the notion of somene special had disappeared of their tired souls. It was too late to think of soul mates and they just shrugged at a thought. It was long ago when he wandered in the maze of his own confusion and could smell her parfum or have an intuition of her existence through a song or a dream, but he could never see her. He was sure she existed, he was sure that there was her soul-mate somewhere. The world would be too cold and too cruel to withstand it without her, but even the thought hurt sometimes, hurt and confused him more.
It was the soul-mate idea versus what he could find along his way, and what she could find along her way too.
One day he sat down on a park-bench and grasped that life had not only one direction and that he was not necessarily fated to walk to her in his life. Why so? Was there not enough suffering out there just to deal with corny things?
And then the years went by..
Went by for both, and she knew the side of life he had always seen with different glasses. He was around the corner? she was around the corner?
One day they met in the most unlikely setting, but just met when the life they were fated to share and face together had been left behind rippd to pieces. There was only disilusionment, tiredness, and hopelessness in their hearts. Or is it that they really shared it that way...?
And they got together just sharing a feeling that there was something in common. And life and struggles wore them out even more, even to the point where they wished not to have met.
There was an irony in all this story, but life is made of ironies, sudden twists of destiny, sudden interruptions and unexpected change of courses in life.... "to many things to deal with"She usually said.

And one day, almost by accident. He watched a video clip of a song, a song of those young years of his confusion, of those years where he was introduced to the world just to fail. A song that talked about that rebellious girl that was searching something undefined, and then he could recognised her after he had seen her as a strange.

And he wept, he wept tears of hopelessness and tiredness.
One more time.
