Love is but one of the best ways of self destruction...
How many times have led ourselves so bare that someone could scrape through our emotions?Love doesn't have a basis .... it is devoid of logic. It gingerly creeps in through the the corner window we left open ... stealthily peeks into our life through that half ajar door... and all we do is wave it away..
Its all about the timing and the chemistry.. you might have the chemistry but timing might play her pranks...
To say that love makes the world go round would be foolish and insulting to all the physics we learnt. Only a fool will say that love is just happiness...but yes when it happens just go with the flow.. you might be unlucky a couple of times..it might get difficult after sometime...
but then again everything worth living for is.
There are these times scattered in our conversations, when you complete my sentences. You say something that sums up my emotions. Your words feel like those lyrics of a song that happen to express my feelings better than I can.
You say I am yours. You remind me. You remind the universe, as if the universe will stop spinning for a moment and be awed to hear that : just one individual belongs to another...as if the universe will be bereaved ...as if she will conspire to get me back.Its so funny that you seem to realise my worth at times when that seems so impossible for me.You stroke my insecurities , calm my demons , hush my fears. You put me at rest,, calm my heart thats ever so bugged with overthinking.
You say that you love me. You say it like a whisper . You say it loud enough just for me to hear, when you are just with me or when we are out in the world.The little girl in me screams because she wants you to shout that out from rooftops. She wants every living soul to know that she belongs to someone..
But she fails to understand what constitutes your universe.
She doesn't know that it is far from what geography has taught us through the ages.
There are these astrology magazines predicting about love, detecting who the love of your life might be. I would always want the name of my match to start with 'S'. But it seldom did. Maybe i had the presumption because i used to date guys having 'S' names. I prayed that the astrology books would falter that by some spur of cupid's activity I would have some kind of love life to brag about because when we are adolescents it's all about fitting in with your peers. But for me , the braces beering , chubby girl it was hard to do so. Guys wanted the prettier girls and i don't really blame them. I counted my stars .. hoped a talisman would work its miracle but what was not meant to be would never exist. Never! not again! these endless cycles of forced love and the fruitless pursuits....
Now looking back I realise maybe I wasn't ready. Maybe instead of forging my destiny with 'S' i should have taken a step back.
'Cause you would come when you were supposed to eventually but surely...
