That ^^.... Blissful nails it. Honestly, I have mentioned before on these forums that I have done an MA thesis on Plato. I knew the myth of the double headed humans inside out and had occasionally used it in my own writings. I actually had read extensively on some of Plato's even more beautiful than that myth imageries on divine love. I told my own twin about those myths. Once, I had even written a short story about mistaking the soul one was born with... and meeting Plato in a dreamy land to inquire as to what the deal was... I believe it had to do with sadness over a break up that one.
While I always found that writing and the process it motioned fascinating, I never really believed any of those things had any trace in truth... that another soul could be *that* kind of special... until I met one.
