Thin line

While digging through my own rubbish, the old thoughts resurfaced.

Why do couples look so right and complete?

Fundamentally, we are all seeking companionships and usually we find ourselves friends. We know that noone likes to be alone. We need someone to listen to, someone to talk to, someone to trust, someone to stick by you when you need them.
but what is friendship? How do we define friendships when some are deep while some are superficial. Some are meaningful while some are deceitful. Some are family, some are strictly 'business' and some are just words we use to refer to people who we knew of. What does it really mean? Doesn't it make you feel cautious about who we let in and what we let out? Is friendship enough?
Friendships and Love are seperated only by a thin line, a line that is so well-defined and yet, fuzzy at the same time. When you have something as vague as 'friendship', doesn't it sometimes make you want to cross the thin line into that new place of trust? and isn't it deligthful to see someone steping over that line with you, someone who trust you just as much. Isn't this why we are constantly searching for our soulmates? Or otherwise we will never feel complete, be complete.

Why do couples look so right and complete?

Because they've found something more than friendships. They no longer feel unsettled. They no longer seek and so they live their lives in security. They can live their lives in relaxed trust.
