soul mates

Meant for each other

Soul mates are two people believed to be perfectly suited for each other, as if destined to be together.

The term implies a deep, almost mystical connection—that these particular souls were meant to find each other: I knew from our first conversation that we were soul mates.

Usually romantic, but sometimes applied to close friendships.
