Soulmates

Even in the world after this world, we will be together.
Two magical beings of light and air.
Dancing through the heavens,
Shaking the stars free from the night sky.

Even in the life beyond this life,
Where a billion souls free-fall through the Universe...
I will come.
And I will find you.

The first time I read this I was 13 years old. Back then I thought: soul mates = lovers. I thought the word only applied to romantic links and relations.

But since then I've met a lot of soul mates.

In the form of my sisters, whom I love completely and unconditionally.

In the form of girls who I consider as my sisters.

In a friend I met inside the first music room I stepped in to at the age of 11. In the same friend 15 years later, when everything's changed but we have both remained as child-like as ever when we are together.

In the form of new friends I've clicked with instantly. Friends I feel I've known for life. Friends who have their weird ways, but I manage to accept them for who they are. Friends who I think are in my life right now to show me how much more love I am capable of giving.

In the form of a boyfriend who is now also my best friend in the whole world. Who knows me inside-out. But who still surprises me with new antics. And who still gets surprised with my new ones. Familiarity and Adventure all rolled into one.

Today I think about the people I consider my soul mates. And how lucky I am to have found them. And how with some of them I am still confused as to how close we really are supposed to be, but when I'm with them everything seems to make sense and everything matters, and everything is about laughter and smiling and happiness.

And that no matter what happens, I'm keeping them. :)
