It had obviously rained last night and I barely slept. As thunder roared around, similarly thundered through my mind. As the rain fell on this parched earth, tears rolled down my cheeks. As water flooded the darkened streets, my thoughts were inundated with memories. It was morning now and the air around was cool and was beckoning me from inside. All I wanted wanted was to feel the cool rush of air against my face and the calm it would bring. Without waiting for a second I ran to the balcony to breathe the beauty of nature. Fortunately no one was awaken for if they were up I would have to several questioning glances since I am not an early bird. But today I wanted to be alone, away from the noisy and perpetually inquisitive eyes of people and the sound of the ever active world. So I was pleased to see Mummy daddy and Bhai sleeping.
Every single second brought forth a memory to life. Memories that were happy, sad and most importantly shared. This reminds me that I have not mentioned the reason for those tears, the reason for being sad. And what those memories were?
Well.... Let's say that it hurts when 'people you know' becomes 'people you once knew' .
Hurts even more when the person was once your 'whole' life. And that got me thinking,
WHY ON EARTH DO RELATIONSHIPS HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS? Momentary, and so Fragile.!!?
THERE FOR SOME TIME and THEN GONE !
Can they not last forever?
That is when I began to wonder about love. Is it just another feeling that comes and goes, changing and twisting with each passing day? Is it something that is to be professed on Valentine's Day and then conveniently discarded later? Is it something shown in the gifts and flowers given? And above all.. Is love only the Love of a girl and a guy? No No and a third time NO! I was on the wrong way and was mistaken in my belief. I misunderstood the word 'Infatuation' with the one so divine. Love is pure and beyond any definition. Love is lots of caring and a huge amount of trust. Sounds philosophical? I know. But that's what I can see now. I looked around me and here was the biggest example, NATURE! The world was created out of love and was to work on the basis of love itself. But look what we've made out of it! We've all made it just a passing feeling, a product. Committed today and separated the day after.! But wait all love in the world is not Lost. Luckily some of it still remains for us. But dark shadows in our minds keep it hidden and we fail to see it. Just change your perspective a little and you will. I changed mine and it brought me joy. I remember my mother- Yes! The only person who loves me more than anyone would, without a condition. She cared for me even before I was born and bore pain for my sake. And my daddy, who had always tried making me laugh in all my lows. Isn't that love? It is! More precious than anything else in the world. There are people who love me. How can I forget my best friend who had been there with me through thick and thin? I was wrong. Relationships do last and those are the one's based on true love, love that holds no 'Terms and Conditions' . Love that doesn't 'occur' today and 'end' tomorrow.
