It's been nearly 16 years since the last episode of "Boy Meets World" aired and that show still holds a special place in my heart. Forget Ross and Rachel, Chuck and Blair, Damon and Elena, Eric and Tami Taylor, Meredith and Derek or even Meredith and Cristina, the greatest TV love of all time is and will always be that of Shawn Hunter and Cory Matthews.
Throughout the 7-year-long sitcom you had the privilege of falling in love with Cory and Topanga and Cory and Shawn. This show expressed a close-knit bond between family, friends and significant others. Everyone is so fixated on the idea of having your person thanks to "Grey's Anatomy" but that was made very clear through "Boy Meets World" that sometimes two really is better than one. I know there's still a hole in your heart where they used to be but if you kept up with the spin-off "Girl Meets World" you'd know the two soul mates rekindled their love and it was exactly what your heart needed after all these years. Here's to the love that set my expectations incredibly high.
1. You have a secret handshake.
2. You knew from the start you'd be perfect for each other in every sense of the word.
3. No one, not even your significant other, could ever replace their place in your heart or your life.
4. You are perfect for each other.
5. You finish each other's sentences.
6. They would do anything to make you happy including fix things with your ex.
7. They don't feel threatened by your relationship.
8. They're your best friend one second then your parent the next.
9. They are part of your family.
10. Sometimes all you want is a hug...

11. Or to hear their voice.
12. Your fights hurt more than breakups.
13. You've already planned out your future whether you're in a nursing home... or sitting in Chubbies trying to get a burger.
14. They've helped you through the best and worst of times.
15. They are the only person who has never let you down.
16. It's you two against the world.
17. They will be standing next to you at the alter.
18. We all knew they were end game.
19. Some things will always be the same.
20. But no matter how much time has passed, how many months/years you've gone without seeing each other nothing has changed.
These two went through life together and took us all along for the ride. If you're lucky enough, you have a Shawn Hunter of your own, or maybe a Cory Matthews, either way, you have officially hit the best friend/soul mate lottery.
