♀ That SOMEONE ♂

We all remember that one person who came into our life for a day or two yet made an impact and became a sacred memory. We wish that that person had never slipped away. They could be the best friend we never had, a sibling we always wished our parents had given birth to or the soulmate which had ended our quest for a suitable mate. We wonder, how it took them just a couple of days to persuade us with the words never spoken to lay bare our heart and unveil the answers to the questions that bothered us for so long. In their company, we feel content and most importantly happy. It feels like we had known them forever, like a long lost friend. I remember when we were small kids, making friends was the easiest thing ever and as we grow up, it gets harder to even initiate a hello to a stranger. We confine ourselves to the invisible wall made of timidity and sometimes ego that defines our comfort zone. And one day that one person knocks off that wall, making us vulnerable but confident and it gets easier to invest belief and hopes in ourselves and others again.  They are like the lighthouse guiding us to our destination when we feel lost and lonely in between the dark sea. Yet they are not meant to stay in our life. But we are always grateful that we shared a world together with them for a while and they made life easy again :)
