Many of us get our hearts broken once and many of us get it
broken over and over again. Then there are the fortunate ones who don’t get it broken at all. Here we are specifically talking about the “idea of love.” In the breaking, mending, giving away,
fixing, and offering our hearts, what do we realize with time? Have we started
feeling that to love, is a difficult task? Have we started looking at it as a
burden? Since when did love and companionship become so complicated? Since when
did love become so difficult to comprehend that it breezes away from us and
we keep manipulating our hearts and minds? Since when did we become
so immune to all the love floating around to absorb us, in all its warmth
and comfort?
Since the time we have become unsure of ourselves, we have
let love to go away. Since the time we have not looked at love as companionship but
have looked at it as convenience, we have let it out of our lives. And the times,
when we have let our pasts guide us through our presents and forecast our
futures, we have let love go away.
Nobody can define love. Nobody is sure of what makes it or
breaks it. But what makes it real and true is ‘being there and standing by,' and everything
else just fits in. While you stand by your companion, every fear can be
conquered and every hardship can be blown away. That one leap of faith has to
be taken when you tell yourself- This is forever.
