That doesn't mean they will ever meet though... ๐Ÿ˜…

Not the OP, but I seem to share at least some form of his experience and I actually think this "song" does a really good job of summarizing how I feel about it.

I am as sure there is someone out there for me as I am of anything else I have a high degree of confidence in. On the matter of whether we will ever meet or not though, that I can't say. Maybe the world is too large and time is too great. In the grand scheme of things we will find out soon enough.

Well if they settle before then, they'll for sure never meet.

Of course, though unfortunately the decision is not a binary one. If a person spends their whole life searching and not finding, it could be that putting the same amount of time and energy into something else would have resulted in a more fulfilling life. There are shades of gray with this too since it's not one or the other. Like most things it's all about balance.
