Soul mates is the ideal, what we all want and strive for, but realistically what we usually end up with is settling for the equally nice compromise, because waiting for one single soul mate across the universe sounds like a lonely existence. Since none of us want to fall within the creepiness factor.
Isn't there another song where the writer conjectures what happens if you meet your soul mate when both of you are with someone else?
Maybe there is a universe (uh... alt-universe) where with the absence of Lois, alt-Clark and alt-Lana are actually happy. (Mrs. M jumps for joy at this suggestion.) John, weren't you writing a story at one point where alt-Clark was happily married to Sheriff Rachel Harris, and living and working as Superman from Smallville, when canon Lois is dropped from the sky by Tempus?
In KenJ's story "First Love", one of the Kent children's soul mate isn't local and much more difficult to find to the point that his family had almost given up on him finding her.
