LOVE- It is !

This letter is not to my diary, well, for that matter to no one or nowhere in this world, but my very own self

I may be an upfront adult now, but down inside I am still a kid, that's what my family thinks and I believe they are right

I have been in a relationship where we belonged to each other in the purest form, but I believe we were kids to understand what exactly love is, so we had to part our ways as a couple. I was never a child who would believe in love that entangles around its own rituals. The love with which, there come the responsibilities and so much of other stuff that the individual in love forgets the true essence of love.

Not all love story is lovy- dovy, but it is not always a burden full of responsibilities on your shoulder, I have seen the adults in my surrounding, how their love is kept inside a trunk in a corner of the basement where hardly anyone visits, maybe once in two blue moons. Like probability is really very less, but then I am also someone who has also seen love blooming in the garden, like a ray of sunshine, sparkling like a rainbow, but doesn't all that too come with hardship?

For a garden to bloom, a caretaker has to delve in all his heart and soul and maybe sometimes put more effort than what it seems from a distance, Or a rainbow? That is never seen before a thunderstorm, but

"Isn't that what LOVE is all about?"

I have seen people promising forever(s) and then distancing their pathways all in the opposite direction without even glancing back and waving goodbye(s) and yes, just for the clarification Marriage is never a certification that these two individuals will walk together till eternity, at least not in this today's world.

Marriage might be a tool that makes you think twice or thrice, but if you really want it, you never need any confirmation and if you don't then nothing in the universe stops you.


For me, Love has always been a magical thing, not anywhere near the magic in movies, you are thinking about right now, swirling a wand, and boom, here it is what you desire, not at all, I am referring to something entirely different. I don't know if I would ever experience my fairy tale or I already have or am currently experiencing, but, My magic is like fighting all day and then slipping in a small chit of apology before going to bed? Sitting under the moonlight in a blanket for a cup of coffee and discussing how heavy the day was and how light you feel with each other or at that very moment? Dressing up in each other's favorite dress or color just to let them know that no matter how busy life is we still care for small things and most importantly each other. Going for a walk to nearby or distant chai wali thadi because nothing is fancier than each other's company. Writing love letters, singing each other's favorite song even with the horsy voices, dancing for no reason with each other in front of the mirror, randomly hugging, or maybe a goodbye just before leaving for work? But most importantly just being on each other's side when one of us is sad or just couldn't feel the day's vibe, because

"Leave me alone ALWAYS means hug me TIGHTER and stay CLOSER".

Already experiencing the fairy tale? I feel and believe that a ton of small efforts do make a big difference. Keep in mind that our duties and responsibilities are very important, but love in relationships is paramount.

I don't know what love is, whether my magic spells would work, but the only thing I know and am very sure of is that-

               LOVE isn't made to be locked into TRUNKS !!!

So, just grab a little chit and slip it under your loved one's pillows, or maybe DM's of whatever messenger you have, because you never know when the magic actually works!!!
