After 12 years of formal schooling, I have seen people meet, hate each other, like each other, love each other, get into a relationship, and then, unfortunately, get out of it. There is this friend of mine who “loved” a girl for two long years before he “got” her, then stayed together for a year and then, recently broke up. There is another friend of mine who hasn’t seen the girl he loves for 2 whole years but still insists that he does, and trust me HE DOES. Then I know girls who have hidden their feelings behind a smile for seasons together, just to see the guys they love happy. Love can be mushy, bittersweet, tiring, painful, etc. But it’s love, so never mind.
I had never been able to wrap my head around the entire concept of “love. But that was until, I met a couple.
When I do a bit of soul searching an ask myself “Why I thought of writing this?” I have but one reply, “Oh c’mon, they are perfect.”
This weekend, I met the perfect couple. PERFECT.
And when I asked them what love is all about, this is what they said:
”Love is something that makes one feel that life is perfect. One forgets all pains. One bears all troubles. One endures all storms. One does everything he can. One smiles. That’s the power of love.
It is like your life revolves around a central point. It is like you find the focus of your existence.
You wish you could be with them 24X7, 365, and you still want more of them. That's love.
You were having a rave party on the outskirts of the city and on your way home the police catches you drunk and driving, and right when you think that nothing can save you and you have screwed up big time, your sober friend on the passenger seat owns up and takes the blame, goes through a lot of trouble, while you stay free.
When in love, you want to be that ‘friend on the passenger seat’. That is love
You have Rs.5 as your cell phone balance and just because you want to hear her voice, you spend every penny you have (even go into negative balance) and don’t think about it once with regret. That’s love.
When you, dreamless for 5 years, see the face of the person of your dreams, in your dreams, standing barefoot in the sand, underneath a clear blue sky and her face lit up by the sun, its love.
When you feel twice as awkward as she does when you introduce her to your friends, it’s stupid, and it’s love.
When you promise something out of the way and then end up doing something out of the way just to ensure that you fulfill your promise, its love.
When you see a smile on the face of that special person, and you wish to hold on to that moment forever, its love.
When you are in the balcony, and the sky is twilight, and the moon has just started to shine bright, and you are on the phone with your special one, and you tell him "this is the best moment of the day" its love.
When you want to die immediately just because “I always wanted to die this happy” its love.
And when it is love, well, it is love”
Sounds great.
God Bless Us!!
