Of Love - Drug

Life always surprises you. When you ain't looking for a gift it puts one in your lap. When you wish for no trouble it creates one out of nothing. When you think you know who your friends are it brings the enemy in them out. And when you think love is not a word you know it gives it a whole new dimension in your life.

The definition of LOVE has always eluded me. In fact most definitions elude me. Definitions come with boundaries and i don't get boundaries. Not for something as crazy as love. The definition of crazy sounds like an oxymoron to me. If you love you love like there's no tomorrow. If you love then you love without any rules. If you love you love like crazy. If you love you love without conditions. If you love you shout it out for him/her to hear it out loud and clear. If you love you do not hold back. If you love you let go of all your inhibitions. If you love you trust and free yourself. 

I have always been on the giving end of love in whatever form it was. I believed giving defined love. But for how long could i keep on giving? How long could i not want? Was i correct in defining it as the thing given and not taken in a more than equal share? Not really i guess. 

Love is when he hears you out, love is when i hear the unsaid words in his mind, love is when i smile for no reason but for his presence around me, love is when he lets you be, love is in his honesty, love in his charming demeanor, love is when he holds me. Am sure there is so much more for me to discover in this never ending process. Never ending i hope it is. I hope it surrounds me like the air around me and i breathe in it till i am alive. I hope it makes our lives rosier. I hope it helps us grow together. I hope it helps us keep the kid in us alive. I hope it gives us our bitter share of tiffs to help know each other better. I hope love loves us back.

Cheers to Loving!

Questions

7 rounds around a pious fire. Invocation of gods and goddesses to shower their blessings. Many hymns in praise of almighty and many a verses telling folklore of the sanctity ,importance and value of the relation that would follow are chanted. The relation of man and wife. The relation that marries the two together in a bond. A bond that the society considers unbreakable, one that society considers should be protected and maintained at all costs. Even if it's a mirage. Even if time and again it suffocates the two people in it. But is that marriage's definition?
Well as a person living in the 21st century I thought that all I have said above is an ousted idea for today's intellectual. But when I look closer I find that the sanctum picture of marriage has blurred but the picture still holds onto its old colors. You and I may raise our voices malevolently in opposition of any compromise being made and any suffering being inflicted on either of the partners by the other but when it comes to our own doorsteps then we bend and bend till we can't anymore. We prefer the load than to walk out and find a new life for ourselves. The fear of independence, is it??
