Companionship can be one of the most enriching relationships in life. We know lots of people and have many friends, but we may never have sat back and reflected on who are those few true companions that we have in our life.
They are the ones who don’t wait for the highs and lows in our life to be around us. They are always there and don’t need a reason to be part of our regular daily lives. They are probably the first people we think of whenever we find the need to share something with someone. We also know we will be amongst the first to get their call as well.
True companionship transcends petty sentimentality. There are times we are part of their plan, and at times we may not be; it just doesn’t matter because the understanding that truly matters is so much in place that there is no place for insecurity.
So often things between us are understood unsaid, and most times, we know what is coming next. They challenge us, smoothening our rough edges, and at the same time, they encourage us, helping us shine and give our best. And they do it because they simply love us.
Companionship needs no reason, has no motive, and often cannot be described or understood by others. It is not easy to find, and when we do find it, we mustn’t let go of it. Sometimes the joy of walking alongside is far greater than running alone.

Well said. Too often we take these relationships for granted.
Beautifully expressed! Often in such relationships – one / other is taken for granted. To preserve & maintain the sanctity of it- each one should recognize acknowledge and appreciate the other.
