Like you, I too have heard countless expressions of this word and it's significance to people. Here's my take to this 4 letter favourite -
Love is not about going out of way and doing something for that ONE, breaking stars, leaving family and friends behind, buying expensive reasons or defining yourself by him/her. It's also not about sullying your life if you didn't get the acceptance from the one you love and nor is it about feeling your best if you ever did find it...
Love is just about missing... it could be the way his/her hair moves in a gentle afternoon breeze, the smile that might be so special for you but common for others, the funny accent he/she speaks with, the way he/she narrates a story or talks, funny movements they do while talking or standing and scores of others.......
ONLY when you start missing these things about that person..........you should know that you're in love.
It's these moments that you miss about that ONE what 'Love' is in the true logic. These moments could last for a few seconds...few mins...few hours...few days...a full week...many months or for years.... Well!!! if you're fortunate, they would last for a lifetime....but as moments they will end.
ONLY if one grasps that as moments they will end someday, one will find immense peace/serenity and gratification in conceding that your life was great because you got a chance to experience those moments.
Short or long...rather than feeling annoyed, despising or blaming them or feeling any other adjective of HATE for the ones you love.
Thus, cherish that every small 'moment' of 'love' that has come to you and remember that you can always look back at them and smile.Regardless whether the moments are today there with you or not...
