The gentleman in the taxi

[ElenaX]

Hi there,

I'm new here and I wanted to share a recent experience because I can't seem to put it out of my mind.

Early November, a couple of girlfriends invited me to go out with them to dinner and of course they wanted to hit a bar right after. I wasn't planning on going to the bar with them but decided ok one drink and then I will go home. I had a ****** time so I ended up leaving them at the bar and flagging down a random cab, alone.


The cab driver initiated one of the best conversations I have ever had. We spoke about life purpose, spirituality etc I felt a most wonderful peace and contentment in his presence.
I kept thinking that I did not want this cab ride to end and the closer we got to my house the more panicked I felt.
Finally, we get to my house and he asks me if he could finish the conversation. Yes, I said and felt so relieved. He turned off the meter and we spoke for another hour and a half. I felt such a pull, so drawn to him. ..I could not stop staring into his eyes. His gaze was intense but there was a softness to it at the same time.

He offered me his number but I refused to take it because I am dating someone.
He has the same first name as the person I am currently dating, lives in my neighborhood and we come from the same Mediterranean country. Funny coincidences...

I got out of the cab and I felt a sense of despair. That's how I will describe it. I felt despair as I walked up the stairs leading to my apartment.
I felt as if I lost something.
I let myself into my apartment and immediately burst into tears. Weird eh?
I can't explain why but that's what happened.
I did not sleep a wink that night because I kept thinking about it. What's even weirder is that I forgot what he looks like a couple of hours after meeting him. I can't seem to remember any physical feature, not his face or voice at all. It's as if they were wiped from my memory.

The next few days I would just burst into tears. I felt as if i was grieving or as if I was going through a break up or something. As if I had a broken heart. I feel like there is a string around my heart and something is pulling at it.
It has been 4 weeks now and I can't seem to shake him off and I don't understand why.

I don't know enough about twin flames but could this be a soulmate?

I'm trying to figure out why this random encounter impacted me so I canb release it and let it go from my psyche.

Thank you for reading.
