helpless romantic or was it hopeless ?

"A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure." - Charlie Chaplin

Hands intertwined while the drops of water hit in their mysterious drum pattern on the windshield. The weather was cold so it seemed only natural for them to hold each other close, closely knit together as if to never fall apart, never seeing an end, no stop signs, no speed bumps, no dead ends. A loop that would and could possible continue on for a lifetime if the pieces were right; as if they were jigsaw pieces fallen in places for each other, a perfect fit.

Questionable at times, though thoughts do overwhelm when the idea of ones "perfect fit" actually existed. A complete opposite of ones self or someone of likeness. It's always a constant struggle to whether or not we're destined for someone, destined for what many would call a soul mate.

Interestingly speaking in one of Plato's dialogues; the story goes that humans were creatures of four arms, four legs, both male and female genitalia, as well as a face split into two: one more masculine while the other more feminine. Sometime after Zeus and the other gods had defeated the Titans; they figured, why not destroy the humans as well, but knowingly needing the humans for tribute, they decided to split them in two, one female and the other male. It's said that when finding their connecting piece, the two experience a bond like no other, the happiness between the two can never be felt anywhere else. A small and simple tale, food for thought at that.

I'm probably just babbling on about ignorance from a well intoxicated mind, though I must admit, I am a hopeless or rather helpless romantic at that. I wonder what other piece could there be for myself. Trust, is what a friend had told me once, she explained; trusting in my own understanding would be my downfall, stand fast and believe in the impossible, and trust in things I do not understand.
