“Oh, the comfort – the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person – having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away…”
“I love you. Do you love me?”
How many of us have had the fortune of hearing these words being uttered to us and how many of us have longed to hear these words? I am sure all of you would be mouthing a silent approval to what I just asked.
Clichéd though it may appear, love is the one emotion that hasn’t lost its relevance one bit over the ages. It is evergreen; providing solace and comfort to all who seek it. “Love inspires; Love fascinates; Love gives hope and Love refreshes”, say Ms. Sarah Anna Mathew who works in a multinational company. But she hastens to add, “In a relationship, the break up is the most painful experience ever; it drains you mentally, physically and emotionally.”
There is nothing like waking up in the morning listening to your loved one’s cheery ‘hello’ and then waiting to spend each moment with that person. A moment’s separation translates to a year’s parting when you are madly in love. A walk together, on a rainy day through the misty roads when the spring is in its utmost glory holding your loved one’s hand; a glance that conveys all you ever wanted to say; a loved one’s warm hug that seems to wipe away all your tears and fears – can anything in the world replace the whopping joy that these provide?
“There were days I didn’t want to fall asleep, as the reality was finally better than my dreams”, says Ms. Shreya Shekhar, a lawyer.
As Margaret Wolfe Hungerford once said, “Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”; similarly people today have their own various notions for falling in love with a person.“Good looks, common sense and good conversation skills in a woman are what turn me on. Being in a relationship is wonderful; you have someone to always back you no matter what. But there are times when you feel the need to be alone, and at such times the commitment you have made can bog you down” says Mr. Jeremy Samuel, an IT professional.
“Frankness and honesty are what I look for in the lady of my dreams”, quips his friend Mr. Rakesh Eashwar.
While, there are yet others like Mr. Suman Balakrishnan who place personal hygiene as one of the key alluring factors. Well, ‘cleanliness next to godliness’ as they say, I guess. <:) >
Whatever be your reason for falling head over heels in love, there is no denying the fact that love is always in the air!
So, people out there, let your lives be filled with the two most important ‘L’s ~-~ Love and Laughter.
Live, lásku, smích!!! < :) >
“Who, being loved, is poor?” ~Oscar Wilde
