The Ancient Greeks believed that at the beginning of time when humans were created, their forms were different to what we see today.
The form was both man and woman with four arms, four legs and a single head made of two faces. These humans were powerful creatures who became a threat to the gods. Seeing this, Zeus came up with the solution to split the humans in half, punishing them for their pride and leaving them to yearn for their soul’s other half, what we know to be a soulmate.
According to this myth, when the two halves find one another there would be a silent understanding from eachother, their souls would connect and there would be no greater joy than that.
In the past, if someone were to say the names Mickey Henry and Y/F/N Y/L/N, no matter who was talking the sentence would always end with “...are soulmates, they are each other’s better half. They are connected.”
To poke fun at this, you and Mickey used to squeeze into one shirt and joke that you were one body just like the myth. “What are you two doing in Mickey’s shirt?” they would say to the two of you, looking at Mickey and having a silent conversation between you, Mickey would smile before replying “It’s not my shirt, it’s OUR shirt.” you really were each other’s better half.
The day you met Mickey you swore you wouldn’t let yourself fall for him. Your trip to Greece was all about bettering oneself and letting loose. But one look at those baby blue eyes and you were a goner.
But life happens and things don’t always go to plan.
Nowadays, if the name Mickey Henry and Y/F/N Y/L/N are brought up, the sentence always ends with “...were the right people at the wrong time.”
This is the story about how you found and lost your soulmate.
