The poem also conveys the bittersweet beauty of the bond between the two, even if it is not a romantic one. "A soulmate is a person with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity. This may involve similarity, love, romance, platonic relationships, comfort, intimacy, sexuality, sexual activity, spirituality, compatibility and trust."
