To my soul sister,
People walk in and out of your life and everyone leaves a mark. But there are some people whom you don’t want to let go of. You want them to stay and the universe conspires with you and let them be by your side. As I have matured through the years, I have come to a conclusion that friends with good hearts serve an important purpose, going above and beyond the credit and appreciation we actually give them.
I remember the day when we first met. An early morning ride with a formal introduction which took us straight to Juhu Beach. We didn’t know each other then, but I am sure you didn’t like me then. I hardly interacted during the event and I was in a hurry to leave. My firsts are not that good dear and I know you are not going to forgive me for that day. But I would like to keep it that way. I thought you to be a very reserved person until we both opened up to each other and found we had a lot in common with each other.
There are few people in my life who matter to me the most and you are one of them. You have accepted me with all my flaws and I will be forever grateful for that. I wish I could put it into words, how much it means to me that you never treated me the way others did. I was never a burden on you. As I drained my problems in your life, you welcomed me with open arms and never turned me away. You never made me feel bad for needing to vent or cry after a stressful day.
You are an honest person and have never shied away from showing me the mirror. You don’t sugar coat words but send the message across and I like every bit of it. I remember that one phone call which changed everything between us. It turned to two and more and after knowing you, there is not a single day when we have gone without chatting or talking. Well, it’s not about us always but various other conversations. I have only learned more from you and I wish you watch over me always. Well! that is what an elder sis does. I love the gossip time we have in between our other topics of interest. I love the discussions which we have, just so impromptu and we jump from conversations and tend to forget the topic which we were initially discussing. I enjoy the conversations on our writeups, the frank opinions about each other’s writings. I also love it when you listen to me quietly and after so much silence, I wonder if the call was on or I got disconnected, until you say those golden words, “I am here.”
I can’t thank you enough for helping me through the toughest times of my life. Over a few months, my life has been a rollercoaster ride. Lots of highs and lows, moments of excitement, moments of happiness as well as moments of fear. You came into my life at the right time when I needed someone the most. The past month was the hardest to sail through. I hit my lowest points but you made me see the glass half full. You taught me that I have to fight this out and whatever life throws at me, I have to get through and there are better things for me ahead.
The love that we share is when we pull each other up when we are down, we don’t let each other give up and inspire each other to remain the way we are. Our bond is stronger and getting stronger than ever before and I will stand beside you tomorrow like I do it now and will continue, no matter where life takes us. You are truly one of a kind. Selfless, loving, genuine and so down to earth. You have the most beautiful heart and I cannot wait to see where life takes us next. I am excited to be alongside you on this journey of life where you will be my co-pilot. We will hit areas like frustration, concerns, feelings and emotions, insanity, and craziness and I don’t intend to find out how we will come out of it but with you, I am sure we will make it.
I don’t know what I would do without you sweetie, but I would like to say that I don’t know if I have changed or not, but with you, I would have changed for good.
