A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit
our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves
step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be
loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each
unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong
around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our
soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of
direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up,
chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who
makes life come to life.

If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we
finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood!
But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all
we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think
that we might see each other once or twice?
