“What is the most beautiful feeling in this world?” I closed
my eyes for a second and thought about it… ”it is love”. She seemed puzzled,
her eyes had the same innocence and cuteness. Adjusting her spectacles she
asked, “what if that feeling and that person goes away”, I closed my eyes and a
flood of memories gushed in.
A
lot has been said and written about love and its meaning by a lot of people. It
may be trust, care, attachment or just that person. That feeling cannot be
described in words, everything looks serene and beautiful. “LOVE”, these 4
letters are probably the most beautiful letters and its effect lasts till
eternity. Love can be anything and anyone, a child smiling or our parents
sacrificing their happiness for us. Just watching them smile makes us forget
our worries and problems. That smile, that innocence, that bond, above all,
those memories which are given to us by our special someone…
I wish people could
understand that loving someone doesn’t always mean that you have to be with
that person for all your life. Every relationship has its life and time, once
that time gets over that relation gets over as well. There is nothing right or
wrong in this, it’s true that there is a void which is developed once our loved
ones go away and this depresses us. A lot of people go through this and in
order to get back that person start doing insane things. If “our special
someone” comes back again, we start putting restrictions on them because we
fear that he or she will leave us again. We proudly say that we love each other
however we fail to understand that it’s not love but our fear. If you love
someone then set them free because putting them in a prison would simply mean
that you don’t believe that you will be loved by that person. Love gives us
memories and moments, which remain with us and make sure that we carry that
smile on our face. It protects us even if that person is not with us in our
life, that’s the reason we seek blessings because they protect us from
adversities. Such is the power of love and care.
We do have memories and moments, through which we can meet them again
and again. Someone has rightly said, “if you like a flower you pluck that and
keep it with yourself, but if you love that flower you make sure that it
remains safe and nourish it.” I wish people could understand the meaning of
love, it’s not about forcing someone to be with you. It’s about being there for
that person and ensuring their safety. Maybe this is the reason, the most
selfless and pure form of love is of our parents for us. If you still think
that you love your special someone truly, then ask this question to yourself
again. If that person leaves you, will you be willing to ensure the safety of
that person? Or will you be willing to set them free from your restrictions?
Our
society and our generation never fails to amaze me. We claim that we love
truly, but we put them under restrictions and spy on them. Fights, arguments
take the center stage and our so called “true love” vanishes in thin air. After
a few months, the relationship status changes to “single” and then all we care
about is how to take revenge from our “SPECIAL SOMEONE”. Once their smile gave
us satisfaction, now all we care about is their tears. After a few months or
even days, we claim that we love someone and this time its “TRUE LOVE”, and the
cycle keeps on repeating itself. It’s ridiculous because these self- proclaimed
“true lovers”, are the only ones who curse love and defame this beautiful
feeling.
So keep
yourself safe from these “TRUE LOVERS”, of our society and listen to your
heart. Live in present and make memories with your loved ones now, don’t think
too much about the future. Whatever begins has to end someday, relationships
also follow this. So make beautiful memories and don’t put your loved ones
under your restrictions. Please trust your love and their love as well, and you
will realize eventually that why love is the most beautiful feeling in the
world. In the end, when that person will go away from your life, you will have
a lot of happy memories. They will be the reason of your smile, and that love
will protect you from everything. Such is the power of true love…
I looked at her, there was a drop of tear which trickled down her left
eye. “You loved someone, didn’t you?” I smiled at her and all I could say was…
“Yes, truly”J.
