Introduction
It’s like breathing in the fog ,your whole world is shaking inside of you and your deprived of pure air but ,it’s still bliss , a stillness, finally a stillness within…when you meet their eyes everything feels right…you are lost and found all at once, this.. this is what it means to be soul bond.
It happened a long time ago our eyes met and suddenly the world shook and just as suddenly stopped, those eyes ,glowing orbs piercing into my mind forcing the steel doors that held my mind sacred and safe open.
I remember not feeling right after but quickly filing it away in the back of my mind as an oddity and always doing my best to keep distance , though somehow we’d always find each other , in the same places ,in a conversation always inexplicably drawn to each other yet not in a romantic way, more cosmic and unnerving, always catching each other’s eye then looking away ,always somehow hearing the other come up in conversation where they did not belong, why is the question but the answer was long awaited.
It came on a day when I was at my worst , depressed beyond words but still and always pushing threw it to function, doing my best to be as strong as I knew I could be but balancing still….it was the last time we caught each other’s eyes and they locked, the world swirled around itself like a cup of coffee being mixed ,truly we saw nothing else, we felt nothing else , I could only hear my breathing my heart even a distant sound in my chest ,my numb chest rattling not pounding but like my soul in my body was thrashing at the bars of my fleshy cage foaming at the mouth to be released[TP1] .
He inched closer with every stride the feeling more intense ,my soul confused and struck with madness, my brain-my mind …blank ,everything else was numb and all for this brief contact, I saw it in his eyes it was similar but not the same ,more confusion and perhaps a little fear, for him this was more jarring then myself ,id grown accustomed to the “odd” things in life but still even this threw me off.
As he strode closer in what seemed to be slow motion his face changed from a smile to something between shock and being memorized, as he stopped in front of me I felt static as we looked into each other’s eyes I heard us both breath then we hugged for the longest moment of my life and he kissed my cheek and I kissed his as was custom in our circle these greetings we not unusual but in that moment they brought silence ,nothingness , a beautiful peace and bliss that is indescribable and when we parted the world rushed back in, everything came back to life again and I was never the same since , we said our goodbye he hugged me again as if to check that ,that wouldn’t happen again and left.
That moment is burned in my memory forever as the moment everything in my existence shifted , there was no more silent acceptance of being treated badly by people or Asif I was an inconvenience, there was no more emptiness that only one other person had filled in my heart, I felt myself full, whole like something I didn’t know was missing had been put back into place, he’d put it there but I didn’t know how, I didn’t believe in soulmates or whatever that romantic nonsense was briefly I had as a girl but people who break your heart always bring you back to reality, what had happened I didn’t know and yet I spent weeks … months divining on it, using every gift at my disposal till one night I got my answer ….true soulmate, I was confused and then the truth not always given so easily by the gods….soul bond.
