In response to the OP I seriously doubt the girl you are talking about was your Soul-mate in reality. What I think happens is that over the years you have idealized her based on a crush you had when you were much younger.
Generally I find the idea that there is that one right person out there for you entirely implausible. With 7 billion people on the earth the probability is that you would never meet. Depending on you there could be hundreds of thousands of potential life partners out there.
Most relationships start with a crush - or if you prefer, lust. That, imho, can grow into love and a lasting relationship but there is probably more luck involved in that process than anything else.
In other words, largely, soul-mates are not born, they are made, each by the other.

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
