soul mates

Being privy to each other's innermost thoughts, yet feel reassured that you can rely on their discretion.  Showing affection, yet not transcending any boundaries. 

I do believe that soul mates exist, even in a place where Platonic relationship seems to be nothing more than an overused term to describe the pre-confession stage of two close friends.  Pre-confession because eventually, given the nature of how most male-beings are constructed, innocency will be overshadowed by jealousy, and that's the end of their "Platonic Relationship". Something that's supposed to be enduring, has been sadly tagged with a duration, an expiry date.

However, i'm beginning to change my conception of how it all seems to operate; I think i've had enough bad experiences to know that it's not always this systematic because right now, i'm actually clinging on to something, and this time, it's for all the right reasons. 

When quarrels and disagreements remind you of something and someone so dear to you in the past, we ought to seize the opportunity of not losing this special person, for once they're gone, they'll take with them an irreplaceable portion of your memory. 

The falling-out was never easy to swallow. But the fact that it was difficult to shake off made me realize that this wasn't an ordinary occurrence. Distractions were used as an excuse to not confront the problem, though the only thing they did was to prolong it.  In the end, it's all about giving in, compromising and more giving in. If it's worth it, then everything else is secondary.  

Patience and understanding; someday, the pain will be useful to me
