Have you ever wondered? 

A person who makes you is the one who breaks you too. 

In a world full of variations, 

what makes it common to everyone? 

.

Yes, it is the most clichéd topic again, 

It’s love, a box full of joys and pain. 

Trust, care, jealousy and doubt, 

Are the branches of this paradoxical tree. 

.

It is considered either blessed or cursed. 

Still it brings the best at the times of worst. 

What’s life if you don’t have love? 

What’s love if you don’t have hurts? 

.

It never failed to confuse me. 

What’s love? Is it something from the fairy land? 

And then I searched everywhere in quench of it. 

.

I saw a mother cradling her six month old son. 

I saw a son feeding his sixty year old mother. 

A little girl crying on her dad’s shoulder for a toy, 

And a bride crying on her dad’s shoulder for staying a little longer.

A sister who secretly prayed for her brother

And a teacher who waited for the win of his students. 

A young lady, whom I met, 

Who said her only love was that pet. 

.

Oh! This is love, I got my answer. 

Until I heard a pathetic news. 

My neighbor died of cancer. 

Her son and daughter-in- law

Wept bitterly, lying over her body. 

.

Oh no, Maybe their love came to an end. 

Does love end with a person? 

If so, why did God create love? 

How can He be so unjust? 

.

People leave us, love does not. 

People die, feelings do not. 

The reason why love is love

Is that people leave behind memories to cherish. 

.

Love makes you blind, but it is harmless. 

For love itself does not get blinded. 

It is indeed confusing, as everyone says. 

But it is love alone which makes a life a “happy life”, a house a “home”,  and a mere acquaintance, a “love-filled bond”.
