The concept of falling in love with someone is intriguing but at the same time dangerous. Devoting yourself to someone is not easy. But what is love without sacrifice and surrender.

Don't we all dread when we have a crush on someone, thinking that it might develop into something bigger and deeper. So we start drooling over some other person, comforting ourselves that crushes are out of league. But the problem begins when you start developing real feelings for them. Just like your tangled earphones you are unable to solve the mystery of your feelings. As time flies your earphones turn into a mess of wire, and your feelings into something which can't be explained.

For those who have not been in love, the concept of dressing up for someone is absurd for them. Buying gifts and flowers is simply wastage of money and cliche romantic movies are just not their thing. But deep down everybody desires to fall in love, at least once in their life. They too want to experience the exquisite feeling of their lover holding them in their arms, gently kissing their forehead. Love is a beautiful feeling after all.

The idea of dating people and deciding whether they fit your category is totally inane to me. Why can't we know that he/she is the one just by looking at them? Isn't this how things are supposed to work, just like they do in movies? When the light breeze hitting your face announces the arrival of your love. When you start hearing the slow yet sensual violin around you. When all you want to do is watch romantic movies and imagine your arms wrapped around your lover. When the desire to dress up and look good is dire. When daydreaming becomes a part of your routine and your blush makes a permanent spot on your cheeks.

Why can't love in our generation be like something our parents have, who still tease and make love to each other even after several years of their marriage? Why can't it be like the way they show in movies and books? Why does the search for love have to be so difficult, where you have to cross the obstacles of betrayal, cheating, boredom and disloyalty, resulting in what? Heartbreak?

A broken heart has deep scars. Scars which take forever to soothe and mend . Scars which do not allow you to trust anybody. Not all of us are privileged with happy romantic endings in our lives. Some of us are meant to relate to sad love songs, to be rejected because we don't fit the standards of a perfect partner. Some of us are heartbroken to allow people to cross the boundaries of our heart. And some of us are too broken to be healed.

But I still believe there's someone who is made for you and only you. Someone who is going to heal all your scars and accept you the way you are. Someone who will love you for who you are and cherish you with all his heart.
