I had tears…..
There was a serious discussion on love yesterday at my workplace. My colleague was in utter confusion. She asked me .“How do I know if this is a true love?”
I was confused. Not that I didn’t know what to answer. In fact I answered instantly. I know, it was a very dumb answer just like me hehehe :-) but I seem to have had the answer for this question since ages. Maybe I knew it all the time. And now was only waiting for someone to ask me.LOL :P
“If it’s love it’s true,” I answered.
I was asked.“How do you know it is love then?” I really saw it coming. Nobody would just accept the answer I have given.
It got me thinking.I have never been so thoughtful about my studies as I was thinking so deeply in this matter..heheh :-)..Wish I had concentrated equally while studying...LOL.. I know what love is, I really do. I just don’t know how to express that with words. They don’t seem to be enough. These words seem to be shallow and too small to define it. After having written about love for almost 2 years since I started writing on my earlier blogs, I still cannot find the right words to show what love is. Maybe I am not supposed to? I mean, I am definitely not Shakespeare, and he was good, wasn’t he? Romeo and Juliet still makes me cry every time I read it or watch the play or the movie. But even having all the works of Shakespeare available, people still ask what love is. Though, maybe they haven’t read Shakespeare? Maybe next time someone asks me what love is I will send them to the library instead?
I can go on speaking about love…
It is being told by one of my blogger friends in a very beautiful way "Lena":
Love is finding peace, solace and comfort in yor beloved's arms.
Love is a great feeling of belonging to someone’s world.
It is an eternal spring in your soul.
It is a permanent smile in your heart.
I can tell you that love is Life.
Love is being happy. Not for yourself. But being happy for the other person.
Life with someone and for someone. When nothing else matters and yet everything does.
For someone that special that when they look at you they touch your soul.
When they smile at you they speak to your heart.
When they kiss you, the world stands still.
Love is when you prefer to be together through hard times rather than having it easy separately.
It is fighting for what you think is right for the both of you. It is holding on and hanging in each time things go wrong. It is supporting each other in the smallest of actions. It is standing by when the whole world turns its back to you. It is being there even if they didn’t ask you. It is knowing that they would do the same.
Love is power. Power of feelings, emotions, faith, beliefs, understanding.
It is giving someone the power to destroy you but trusting them not to. And they will not. And no matter what happens between you, no matter how badly you fight or what mistakes you make, you will love that one person without regret for the rest of your life.
Love is missing someone so badly that it aches. It aches every day, every hour, every minute, and only when you are with them does the pain go away.
Love is finding someone so completely perfect for you. Someone who makes you happier than you ever dreamed to be. Someone who touches your life so profoundly and gives you a whole new reason to breathe.
The reason to wake up in the mornings. The reason to live.
And this person will make you happy when you are sad, will understand your imperfections and see through them perfectly, will wait patiently just to hear your voice before they go to bed every night…This person will believe in you and your purpose, and they will be there with you no matter what, no matter when, no matter why… they will be there for you… always and forever.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?
Love doesn’t always come easy. It is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on and not letting go. Even if at times it is really hard. Love is work, love is responsibility. Love is care. The care you give and the care you get. It is sharing. Feelings. Emotions. Thoughts. The Past and the Future. The Present.
Love is also understanding. Understanding that fairy tales don’t just happen. You work for your own fairytale. And you work hard. Every day. Every single hour. Each moment of your life. You adjust, you care, you compromise, you create your own fairytale. You do it together.
Love does not just happen. You find love, and you work hard to make it a beautiful bond of two loving hearts. And if you both work for it, you might be able to create your own fairytale. For a lifetime.
“And in the end, I'm Happy to fall in love with that one special person..over and over again :-)
