We grew up hearing tales of love and tragedy,
Used as cautionary tales,
examples of true love's gravity.Lovers willing to die for their undying love,
I couldn't grasp why one would sacrifice all, for someone you've known for a mere few days?So many stories told, but my favorites held sway,
The classics like Heer Ranjha, Sassi Punnu, and Sohni Mahiwal, they'd say.Colorful, tragic tales, I heard them, but couldn't feel,
Not until I met you, and love's depth became real.And I knew these tales were not just fiction but the stories of real lovers.
The day I laid my eyes on you,
The mystery of love unraveled it's secrets to me.
