Ever think of love?
What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once?
They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness?
But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body.
In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood.
It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but you are going to stay awake, in the middle of the night, unable to fall asleep. Will you count sheep then? Or will you count all the people who entered your life and left? If you don't, you definitely have dreams to remind you of all that your life has been.
It is tough to mark the boundaries in your head, in times like this. From the very first love, to the last friend you lost touch with -- it is hard to let go of every piece. These people sire, they take up a space in your heart that no one can actually fill. Not even them, anymore.
However, you learn to live. You come to terms with your good memories, and the bad ones. And if you are lucky enough, you also learn to love, again.

ReplyDeletelove madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times?
ReplyDeleteDon't know about times but one such love is enuf for life.
Love can happen many a times but I feel madness for someone is just once and the best part is the memories of it which no one can distort or take away.
Very true. It's hard to escape these memories, maybe because somewehere we don't even want to forget them in the first place.
