Companionship…
When you and I are together, the world around doesn’t matter…
How many times does it happen to us that when we meet someone, we feel that we’ve known them forever….we know everything about them, just about everything…we feel that there is a connection…an instant one…
It’s not too often…but when it happens…history is created…how long the history lasts is not important…but what it offers then, is magnanimous…larger than life 🙂
The most trivial things like favourite colour, favourite season, favourite cars etc, when alike, give the highest high… and incase it’s not the same…both of them try to accommodate the other’s choice and make it their own…
It starts on a modest level of pleasing which then moves to the next level of comfort, leading on to being together always, then the ‘we’ stage and it keeps going on in an upswing till it plateaus… and then the forsaken taken-for-granted stage…phew…what a cycle…but an amazing one at all times…
Time loses meaning in these cycles…how long they last, doesn’t matter at all…it could be as short as 2 weeks or if you’re lucky enough, then a life-time…but whatever the duration, it takes you to cloud nine… making it the best moments to live…
Why does it happen?? What brings this bliss?? What is in it that makes the whole reason of living worthwhile??
It’s the companionship…the togetherness which brings solace… a witness to your life who adds meaning to all the ‘bigs’ and ‘smalls’… agrees with us…is there with us to share our happiness and is there when we hit rock bottom…hundreds and thousands of people can’t do what that one person can…
A companion by definition is One who accompanies or is in company with another for a longer or shorter period, either from choice or casually; One that is closely connected with something similar; one who is much in the company of, or is associated with, another or others; an associate; a comrade; a consort; a partner.
This is what the companion does…gives you company…walks with you…shares with you silly things…lends you his/her hand and a heart that understands.
What better than being with someone who understands you, makes room for you and strives to make things the best for you… Isn’t that one of the reasons why the institution of marriage is so popular…so that we can get ourselves that someone to be there, no matter what…infact, in marriages, we go the extra mile to ensure that those people stay with us by means of vows, signing papers…but here we are ready to walk to the end of the world, to ensure everything for ‘that’ special one.
Doing things which bring happiness, making efforts to create moments which get engrained in our memories, having the silliest reasons to be together, even for that one teeny bit…this is it..this is all…
This, however, doesn’t mean that companions don’t go away…they, ofcourse, do…but only to treasure what they had for eternity…sometimes taking a back-seat helps…as in their heads and hearts…the connection is always there…though sometimes it appears to be like the warm breeze…which cannot be seen…but can always be felt…
If you’ve felt what some of us have, then pray to your God and thank Him enough and if not…your special someone is somewhere there…just waiting for that right moment 🙂
And the moment when you feel there’s a spring in every step…a song in your heart…for no reasons you see yourself smiling…see the goodness in everything…feel hope all around…you have found your ‘soulmate’…your companion!!!
Hey poonam,
thanks…just did that…and once you said so…i did feel a difference..a new image 🙂
about fear, very soon…and thanks for encouraging…the reason why it appeals as much is because its generic and mostly people can relate to it…though, about writing well…every one has that side…we all need to get to penning them down 🙂
Babe,
I read the imperfections blog before reading this one. And i think you need to read them that way too. That one before this one…..it changes the meaning somehow…not changes…adds a different dimension to it. You write beautifully…. and your grasp of relationships is SUPER. You need to write one about fear also…..the fear of being left alone, of being found wanting, of not being able to find that one…of plain loneliness.
