My Friend, My Soulmate

Friendship is an unbreakable bond. Friends who would do anything to see you happy are the best in life. Friendship is a platonic form of love. It is nothing less or nothing more than love. But I would say that it is the purest form of love is friendship. In the world, even your birth and death need validation in the form of a certificate. But, friendship needs no proof. It is a bond that can form or break whenever anything impacts it. Remember, it is fragile but strong. 

I met my best friend when I was 3. We used to live in the same building and we grew up together. When I was admitted to the hospital for my high levels of dehydration, the doctors told us that I might have lost my speech due to the dehydration affecting my brain. After I got out of the hospital, I couldn't speak at all. I faintly remember a therapist trying to help me speak but I wouldn't be able to. Suddenly, one day, my mom told me to call out my friend from my balcony. I was so desperate to see her that I screamed out her name. She helped me recover by a ton. There were other incidences where I would fall sick and she'd help me recover and vice versa. Even though we are friends, we still used to fight a lot and resolve them. Unfortunately, after I turned 10, my family had to shift from Mumbai to Bangalore. On my shifting day, she was in Banaras and didn't have a clue about me leaving. I left without a word. But a few years later, I visited her in Mumbai. We could connect easily and catch up on our lives. After 2-3 years in Bangalore, I had to shift to Dubai from India. I thought that I'd lose every connection with her but we still stay connected through WhatsApp and other social media apps.

I recently visited her again this July during my vacation. It felt like a dream to spend time with her again. Everything in our town in Mumbai changed but she was the same. Her house, our building, and old friends (not too close) were all the same. I always consider her house to be my second home and it will never change. After parting, I remember crying in the airport and hoping that we'll meet again. I always hope for our friendship to be intact and never break. All of our memories, our funny incidences when we were young, and the numerous conversations we have without a feeling of awkwardness are what I treasure in our friendship If I lose her, I would never believe in friendship ever again.
