A note On Valentine's Day

My journey on this earth
Till my last breath since birth
The experiences I have had
The good ones and the bad
A handful of people have touched my heart and stirred my soul
Making this joruney really worthwhile
Even though they might not have been able to give me company all the way
Sometimes I also had to let go
But somewhere in the deep recesses of my heart and mind
They occupied a place- secured forever

With each of them I grew, I matured and my life was enriched
Through tears, through laughter, through adventures, sometimes through melancholy and even bitterness
Each single encounter has added to my overall persona

As per a book I read, in each lifetime
You are surrounded by the same set of people
Though in different roles or avatars
But the bonding with the souls is unmistakable and permanent

This is to all those persons- Thank you
And the only thing that keeps me going and positive is the fact
That this is not the end
We have had a date or a courtship (sort of) in this lifetime
We will have several more

I hope I contributed in my way to your experiences
I might not and am not the perfect person
But my efforts were sincere till I was with you
And for me, there has been never and ending to "anything"
Maybe the roles changed a bit
My restless soul has driven me to take some steps which might have appeared ruthless
But I need to be true to my spirit- cannot suppress that

Thank you again and just remember I am there - always
Whenever you need to reach out
As I said for me its never the end
Your places in my heart are special and only reserved for you
