Once upon a time there was a king, and the king commissioned his favorite wizard to create a magic mirror. This mirror didn__ show you your reflection. It showed you your soul__t showed you who you really were.The wizard couldn__ look at it without turning away. The king couldn__ look at it. The courtiers couldn__ look at it. A chestful of treasure was offered to anyone who could look at it for sixty seconds without turning away. And no one could.
Perhaps soul mates don__ exist, I thought. Maybe they were only a way to get over a loss that couldn__ be forgotten, a way to mend a heart that was unredeemable__n aberrant remedy that dissolved long before the healing began. A way to love a numberless amount of times when it was finite all along. Perhaps love was this illusory wonder and we were reaching for the impossible. Maybe it wasn__ likely to know someone so completely and maybe, just maybe_ there was no beauty in having a soul.
