The idea of "the ONE"

If I have something to say, I'm sure there will be someone out there to voice it out,
If I need to talk, I'm sure there will be a friend to listen to me,
If I start shouting, I'm sure someone will come by to help,

but "the ONE" makes you talk without needing it,
hears you without shouting,
cares for you without asking for it,
finds thing to say without you demanding it,
and finds you when you are lost.
He has the potential!

I found these lines in my drafts of year 2011. What was I thinking then and why didn't I post it back then? Perhaps, even back then I found it pretty outdated and impractical to post and yet I couldn't help but to write it down.
We do not stop dreaming about "the ONE", who is the prefect match. It is one of those ideas like religion that is sweet and yet dangerous, fanciful and yet unattainable, fabricated and yet irrefutable. Actually, I don't believe in it, but apparently, I don't behave as if I don't believe in it. I simply looked at those lines above and found myself thinking quietly: "oh yes, absolutely, exactly, that's right" and then as if I had caught myself red-handed having committed a crime,  my conscious started talking out loud: "no, that is not right, there is nobody to match such description, "the ONE" does not come to find you, he will not come knocking at your door waiting for your response."
Which one is me, the first wishful inner voice or the second self conscious pessimist controller? I sometimes wonder how do I survive with so many contradictions!
