On undying love 

Precisely 10 months ago, I met the love of my life. Back then, I was oblivious to the fact that this boy with hazel eyes would grow to be someone I’d take a bullet for. Likewise, little did he know that I’d be the one he shares everything with. For almost a month, we questioned each other what we really were for we both knew that the relationship we shared was not merely friendship. It was something more than the ordinary bond between two friends. It was friendship laced with confusion, chaos and adoration.
A month later, in pursuance of my curiosity and my admiration for him, I gathered all my guts and asked him out. I cannot simply put in words the immense joy I was brimmed with when he said yes. Its been 10 months and our relationship has been extraordinary and beyond perfect. A perfect relationship embellished with imperfect tiny misunderstandings and the endless attempts at making up to each other. That’s proof that this is indefinitely the realest thing I’ve ever felt in my life.
The spark never died. The electricity was never lost even after a zillion touches. The jokes never got old. Stargazing in each other’s arms never heard of boredom. The laughter never withered. The love in his eyes never even flinched. And boy am I the luckiest girl to have found the one. The one who doesn’t make me question his love for me, the one who loves me almost as much as I love him.
I’d do anything to have this boy beside me for the rest of my life. For he has shown me all that life has to offer and all the happiness he thinks I deserve. And one day, when I marry him, I’d feel more wholesome than how I feel every time he holds me. Our love doesn’t know any bounds. It will never cease to exist and yes, I firmly say this after being in a merely 9 month old relationship with him.

The aftermath

It will break you and wreck you beyond repair.”

“It is an interminable cycle of getting your hopes up high followed by heartbreak.”

“It is hopeless and you will be tormented.”

I can go on and on about these banal things pessimistic people say. Yes, it will hurt. If it was true, it will hurt all the more. But don’t you see the sunnier side to it? It is also the most beautiful feeling. Even the most brutal storms will end, and the next morning you will wake up to dewdrops on those unturned leaves. It will feel like the screaming sun after almost half a year of piercing winter. It will give you the most comfortable warmth you’ve ever felt. It will feel like the morning light dancing its way in through the drapes and shields after the darkest of nights. All of this will happen, maybe not right away, but someday. There’s just so much of hope. And when it does, it will make you experience the deepest of joys and everything around you will bask in your ecstasy. That someone, will stitch you up and mend you- all willingly and without any hesitancy. And at some point, you will be glad that it didn’t work out in the first place and that feeling is so empowering. She will make you shed tears of joy this time, will make every second of the pain you endured so irrelevant and will erase it entirely. You will not have experienced all these new highs without surviving the lows. This is the balance of life. Trust me, love will come around and it will treat you right, and in the end, all of this will seem worth it.
