Struggling to understand the meaning of this connection

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone can give me a reading or some insight because I’ve been struggling to make sense of a connection. I recently saw someone I hadn’t seen in years, and seeing/talking to them brought back a feeling that I honestly haven’t experienced with anyone else. The conversation has always been so natural and familiar, and seeing them again made me realize how strongly I still feel this connection. They are currently in a relationship, so I’m not trying to interfere with that or assume anything. I keep getting told that even though I may not get to experience being with them in the way I want, that the connection serves toe purpose of teaching me something. But what confuses me is that I already have a pretty clear idea of what I want in a partner. I know what I want. I’ve met other people since then, but nobody has come anywhere close to making me feel the way they do. I have my career, traveling, and plenty of other things to look forward to, so being in a relationship isn’t the most important thing in my life. But I also can’t seem to shake the feeling that this connection means something.
I’m curious if anyone can do a reading on why this connection feels so unique to me, what I’m meant to learn from it, and whether I’ll eventually meet someone who gives me that same sense of emotional ease and connection. If possible, I’d also love insight into when I might meet someone significant or enter a meaningful relationship.
Part of me worries that I’ll never find someone who comes close, even though I know that’s probably fear talking.
I’d really appreciate an honest reading, even if the answer isn’t what I’m hoping for. ❤️
