It infects your mind, and your heart, and you haven't a clue why or how it happens. It just does. It's love, and how lovers find each other in this big wide world is as mysterious as the emotion itself is. Perhaps a magnetic or physical attraction draws you to your mate or maybe a brief glimpse into that persons eyes and into the emotion that rests deep within them is what lets you know that you have found love.

It may be that you are long term acquaintances, and one day you suddenly realize that you could not imagine your existence continuing without the other beside you. It hits home what you should have known all along. You are in love and this is the one person that you want to spend all of eternity with. Some individuals come to this conclusion too late and only discover what they had once it is gone. A person can love many times in life but true love comes only once, and after you have experienced it, you will remember it for all eternity.

True love does happen. Most of us will at one point or another in this lifetime find that one person that we will define as our one true love. As we stumble along our pathway of life we will somehow manage to find each other. But is true love accidental or predestined? Is it possible for us to find true love by simply discovering a person that we can admire, and respect, and then working at creating a relationship with this person? Or is true love a much deeper predestined plan that we can no more likely alter than we can destiny itself?

It is an undisputed fact that people are attracted or drawn to certain other individuals. Physical attractiveness does play a role in our attractions to other individuals but there are also other innate characteristics that come into play as well. Sometimes it is the emotion that the other person displays, or a feeling that emanates from them, or even their mannerisms that attracts us to them. We are physically, and emotionally drawn to these individuals, but is it because it is predestined to happen? Is this person that we are so magnetically attracted to our predestined true love? Is this the one person on this great big planet who is meant to spend eternity with us?

It is possible. One mythology of love is that there were once no male, or female figures, only singular sex creatures that inhabited the Earth. But one day one of the creatures did something that angered the Gods so much that they split the beings in half and scattered them across the world. The myth is that from that
