Sometimes just one is enough

Today, is the 3rd of July, 2007.
That in itself, given the current trend of things, makes it, well, special.

My facebook horoscope and fortune cookie, of course, have found a way of probing my fears.

But, of course, today is about something larger.

I've been bombarding myself with emotions lately. It seems as if there is no time to stop. And, yet in the midst of all that, I've been able to analyze emotions and their value in relationships. 2 and a half years ago, I got really drunk and decided that was a good enough reason to injure myself. Fortunately, that day I also discovered a saviour. However, a landmark question has remained with me since then. Is there one person you can call your friend? Not surprisingly, I answered : Yes! Well, then, that "one" friend is enough for a lifetime!!!

I don't know how many of us are lucky to find that precious stone. Luckily, my stone has been embedded with three such precious jewels.

& this post is about that one special friend. This term, I use in the absolution of its meaning. When you talk like another person, laugh like them, dress like them, sometimes, even think like them, you've been spending way too much time with that person, right?

What happens when you trust the same person with major life decisions? Intimate secrets! Thoughts, bruises and Happiness! You intertwine yourself in a way that cannot be untangled.
Waves come and go, rocks remain steady. Lotuses still grow in filthy ponds. & some things are just meant to be.

You fight. You cry. You laugh. You hide behind curtains. You drink coffee! You travel by public transport. You sacrifice those extra hours of sleep. You call parents and have 10,000 phone numbers. You read thoughts. You share beliefs in the universe. You love.

The best things in life are so 'cuz they're felt so deep and perhaps, can't be explained or described. I don't have words for what I feel but I know, somewhere deep down this is an investment, that may not give me returns, but will always show up in my account.

We all need to tell the ones we truly love that we do. Or the moment will just pass us by.
