“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.
