Waking up early has never been my cup of
tea yet I look forward to mornings because they remind me that darkness never
remains forever; ultimately, new opportunities will present themselves for us
to rectify our mistakes, learn from our experiences, and move forward in life.
You make me feel like I have endless mornings. Even if I have messed up real
bad the previous day, with you in my life, I feel I still have a chance to set
things right when I wake up the next morning.
None of us are perfect and we are all
eternally struggling to ensure our virtues outweigh our flaws; but with you in
my world, I feel as if I am already a very good person; all I need to do is
strive to get better.
We all have our moments of doubt. At some
point or the other, we've all felt that our lives are getting destroyed beyond
recognition and there is nothing we can do about it. With you in my life,
things seem more tolerable than they actually might be. I feel that even if my
life crumpled to bits, I can stay strong knowing that I have it in me to fix
what's broken. Your belief in me makes me feel invincible even in my weak
moments.
Sometimes I wish I could find that special
someone for you who would be your perfect match and complete you. I often find
myself pondering that there must be someone out there who deserves you more
than I do and who can give you all that I cannot. The pure love you exude often
makes me question things around me. All my life, I have been conditioned to
believe that good things do not fall out of thin air and if you want something,
be it affection, care, money, or any material good, you need to work for it.
Every day I wonder what is the reason behind the presence of your love in my
life? What have I done to deserve it?
You make me so happy that it's almost
frightening! Your love makes me want to be a more radiant version of me. It
inspires me to look and think and act as best as I can. You make me feel secure
enough to try new things without worrying about failure. I know you will love
me anyway. With you in my life, I am not scared of spreading my wings and
attempting a flight. Even if I fall, I know you will be there to catch me. I
want to make you proud. I want to be worth all the trust and faith you have
placed in me.
Gradually, with the passage of time, you
have taught me how to accept things without thinking that I will have to pay
for them. You have taught me that sometimes love can just arrive without any
warning and even if you demand explanations, all questions you ask are
irrelevant and, possibly, even unanswerable. Maybe love is just something that
simply has to be received, embraced and accepted. There is really nothing else
that a person can do about love once it has arrived at their door-step. Love is
a privilege and what more can we do besides being grateful for its presence in
our universe?
I do not believe in a happily ever after.
In future, our paths may drift or we could simply outgrow each other. There is
also a chance that our love could just survive the test of time. I may not know
whether our story has a fairy-tale ending or not but, just for today, I feel
humbled to have known reality as wonderful as this and I shall eternally be thankful
to you for this gratifying experience.
You deserve the best and all happiness around you:)
ReplyDeleteThank You Rahul :-)
DeleteI like the sound of whoever 'You' is...we could all use one :)
ReplyDeleteHope you find someone like my "you" in your life as well :-D (in case you don't have one!)
DeleteAbsolutely love your writing Divya.. :)
ReplyDeleteThank You Mahima :-)
DeleteThe last paragraph sums it all beautifully. Good piece of writing, Divya. Simple and honest.
ReplyDeleteThank You Ellen :-)
DeleteWhy plan for tomorrow if it hinders the happiness you are enjoying today.
ReplyDeleteLife is a series of changes - sometimes, it is good to prepare oneself for some of them :-)
DeleteMost of "You" is already a part of our lives in the form of "your inner self". Loved the last para Divya, that is a great attitude to have in life.
ReplyDeleteVery true, Reshma :-) And sometimes if the inner self actually manifests in an external form, the happiness is doubled/tripled :-D
DeleteSometimes, we need a 'You' to make as feel as 'I'. Brilliantly written :-)
ReplyDeleteAmen. Beautiful piece.
ReplyDelete:-) Thanks Alka!
DeleteIt is so beautifully narrated <3
ReplyDeleteThank You Namrata!
