Countdown to a soulmate

Dreams come true?

I knew this day was destined, my timer would run out. I would find the one who I would spend my forever with.

A lot of people get nervous over this but I'm excited. To meet someone who instantly you feel a connection with, someone for you to love and it be returned.

I've always had trouble making friends, trusting people, but it was the thrill that I would experience everything that other 22 year olds do.

I only ever had 2 friends neither of them I fully trusted. They we're soul-mates and met when they was 17 a year before I met them. They said it's the best feeling in the world, to hit zero and instantly find love.

My timer was 00years 00 months 00 days 00hours 06 minutes 53 seconds

It was closing in on me and I couldn't help but squeal in total and utter excitement. The only down point is if be meeting them in b&q, I had to choose the day to go shopping for paint for my apartment.

I had a dream the night before about this, my destiny.

'My eyes finding the teal paint that would go perfectly for the bathroom, I reached to grab it when my hand met another " oops sorry" we both spoke together. His voice voice so heavenly. I looked up to the man, my eyes reaching his coffee brown eyes. He smiled brightly. "It's nice to meet you soulmate"

With only 2 minutes and 34 seconds left I made my way to the paint isle, looking up and down the different colours and selecting them into my trolley.

00 minutes 59 seconds

Not long now, my heart began to race in delight

I continued shopping trying to battle every feeling running through me

I closed my eyes and continued the countdown

They always say some people are destined to be alone...
