I am a big sucker for love stories. All kinds. My definition of love is not strict, I see love in many forms and all of them are equally scintillating. I mean, when my puppy licks me in a way to show affection, I am truly gratified. Who taught it how to love? So basically, love in all forms brings that dreamy smile on my face.
I recently experienced a one-sided relationship. The object of my interest, a guy I spoke to for an hour one evening. I found him very interesting to talk to; he was a brilliant multifaceted guy, one like I never met before. After that one hour’s conversation we never talked again. But the romantic that I am, I drew an elaborate picture of him and fell in love with a figment of my own imagination; much like how Pygmalion fell in love with his ivory statue.
And imagine my heartbreak when I got to know that this guy is all set to marry some other woman! I cried like a child would, for a refused treat. Soon, realizing my stupidity, I recovered. Upon my recovery, I mused about how absolutely blissful it must be to love someone and have him or her love you back; which is what this wonderful couple must be experiencing.
The new, blossoming love of two young eligible individuals is utterly thrilling- from the first time their eyes meet, their first smile, their first touch, their first kiss, to their first parting completely consumed in thoughts of each other- filled with the strongest emotions one can every feel. The adrenalin rush you experience while confessing your love towards each other for the first time is almost addictive!
So, as I came to understand this couple’s recently found passion and love, I began to smile. By now I completely overcame my silliness and undid my beautiful imaginary picture. And all I can think of is how I wish this new couple, only the very best.
May you experience this incredible emotion, it is truly a gift!
