Birkarnelzelzit Thiyam
I won’t be on high heels, putting superlative degrees in describing what love is – the basic lines are all over the books and internet. Let me put it this way – love is what you feel more than you can say, love is what makes you content while you need more, love is what makes you smile between the tears, love is what you will never feel enough of.
If I go on giving my skills in re-wording the same sense, trust me – love will be in an ocean of definitions. If you ever have fallen in love – you will know what I am about to burn in the next line – love is what you develop not found. Well! Let me draw you a hypothetical window where relativity garlands both the writer and the reader.
There she was, the first day in my office of emptiness. She wore a red shirt, tight dark jeans and a thick heel – well! Let me not describe her eyes because I don’t want another reader of mine thinking about my dear antagonist. I was two feet away from her – explaining how my visions and missions need strong warriors like them. Do you know ‘eyes do smile’? Well! Call it known from the wrinkles on the side of her eyes – she gave me a hint that she was smiling. I was lost in her eyes – oh! Those dreamy eyes! Trust me – no one will say no to those calling eyes.
Love has its own way of saying – yes that’s the one. Ask me how? I have no idea but wait for the time to get experienced. I won’t go on saying we talk and blah blah – but it’s that moment when you feel something foreign when you see something you have never seen in your life. Giving you a little math – our eyes meet in each cycle of the pendulum. Trust me – I wasn’t rifling but shot gunning my sight just to be sure she is in my 130 degree.
Every time our eyes met, all that struck in my mind – will she be the one? And in between the cycle – the rush dilutes my patience. Call it my real-life experience or a hypothesis or just a situation – all have been there once or a lot of times. Many will define that as infatuation and to some lust. As I have quoted some lines earlier, love is something you develop not found. The question is the period it takes in building up to a full one. Some might take a lifetime to have that moment where something foreign grows in your local heart, some might take just a few seconds to feel that but in both the situations – all it takes in a right moment. Some take a few seconds to have that moment and to some it takes a lifetime. Yes! Just because a change in a situation might change the way you felt about him or her a while ago, doesn’t mean what you felt was not true. To fall in love – it’s all an instinct that it takes but to stay kneeled down in love – it’s all a decision.
Writing with all this running line might make it seem like love is just a group of words away. People often say that they met someone wrong in their life, an instinct will instigate the will to ignite the flame in bringing the walls down for bringing some other in your life but to keep that person in the boundary of your orbit will always come with thousands of decisions. There was no wrong match or right match in love, it’s all in if you can be you in the other’s presence by not merging in his/her personality. It’s all about if you could love yourself for loving the other person. It’s if you could start loving the couple picture more than his/her single pictures. It’s if you could smile at yourself in-front of your mirror while he/she is next to the other mate. Love is madness – love is everything – love is also the root cause of all evil.
