The Everlasting Soulmates

I remember not since when I made friendship with extreme solitude Was it my own choice or was I compelled to? Neither I complained to my destiny nor I blamed those who caused me agony, I forgave them, never turned back, I proceeded accepting my ill fate, embraced life 'as it is' with a positive attitude. I'm nostalgic today, searching for a solitaire amidst the rubble of my destruction, I find all are not trash,few precious stones I see and admire who kindled my life with fire of hope, prosperity and celebration. They filled my crystal glass with expensive french red wine, spent a few moments of joy,shared grieves of mine. They came to cease my tempest I bore in my heart and drove me to a meadow of tranquility to gear my life for a new start I tried not to tie them forever with a strong silken thread, 'Cause I feared I'll loose them if the knot is too tight, it'll break So i bound them with no bondage that makes the relationship strain, I preferred to keep their memory in heart and cherish as first monsoon rain. We departed one day with heavy heart, leaving precious memories for each other I couldn't find a suitable name for these relationships that are above all other worldly relationships that demands more than they give. Those great souls demanded no price, only they inspired me to live. I bless them with all my gratitude for they came to my life as heavenly blessings to fill my empty cup and remove my darkness with their light.
