Love is just a four letter word but when you give your heart ♡ to the right person, they will define that magical word ‘love’ into feelings and emotions that you never even knew existed before. Which brings the question, are today’s generation confusing love with infatuation and lust, just to look cool and not to look like a fool….? Everyone has their own definition of love and this is my definition. 🙂
♡ Love is when you get butterflies in your stomach and your heart begins to beat a bit faster as soon as you get a glimpse of her when she is walking towards you. Love is when you go to sleep at night clutching something that has their fragrance on it and falling asleep thinking of them, love is waking up in the morning and the first person that you think of, is your partner and you check your phone for a good morning message from them, if they didn’t wake up as yet you send them a message and when they reply, you phone them just to hear their adorable voice so that you can continue with your daily activities until you see them. 🙂 Love is giving your girlfriend your jacket when she says she is cold and she is shivering, not saying me too. Love is when you take your girlfriend home not to meet your bed but to meet your parents. Love is when you do everything you can just to catch a teddy bear for her at the fair. Love is writing her a love letter telling her how much you love her. Love is surprising her by visiting her when she phones and tells you that she is missing you. Love is doing weird things together and capturing the moment for all eternity with a click of a button on your camera. Love is having no lock code on your phone and being able to trust one another completely. Love is not being afraid to show her to your friends and say that’s my girl. Love is doodling her name on a piece of paper while you are at school, campus or work. Love is singing to her in your goofy voice just to make her laugh. Love is fighting over silly things and making up. Love is surprising her with a box of her favourite chocolates when she is sad. Love is giving her a rose every time you see her. ✽ Love is dropping everything you are doing when she phones you and tells you that she is sick, and she needs to go to the doctor. Love is planning her birthday weeks in advance, just so you can make those 24 hours that she has once a year, unforgettable and special. Love is doing stuff that will strengthen your relationship and bring you closer together like long walks on the beach hand in hand, romantic picnics in the park just lying on the grass enjoying each others company, watching the sunrise or sunset together, watching a movie at home while throwing popcorn at each other and play fighting, surprising her by cooking and having a romantic candlelight dinner for two or just lying next to each other outside and looking at the stars, talking about anything because it doesn’t matter what you talk about as long as you are together. ♡
With that being said, love is not based on what material possessions a person may have for example their bank balance, what type of car they drive, whether they live in a mansion etc, neither is love based on how beautiful a person is. Love is going through tough times together eating bread with butter and sitting in the dark but surviving those horrid moments just because you have each other. 🙂 So rather not base your relationship on wealth or looks as both may fade away with time, rather base your relationship on a persons personality and character, remember a person may meet with an accident and lose their good looks, they may lose their wealth, whatever you were attracted to other than the actual personality of the person may be lost, will you still continue your relationship or pack your bags, cut your losses and move on? Before starting a relationship with someone ask yourself why do i want to be with him/her, as many relationships these days are only lasting one or two weeks, it’s sad to hear that but that’s the truth. 🙁
To all the ladies that say there are no decent guys out there anymore, there are many of us, it’s just that we get overlooked in favour of all the bad guys and we are friend zoned, then when the bad guys break your heart, you say there are no good guys anymore, rather search carefully next time and you will find us. 🙂
To all the guys that say that girls these days only like to go to clubs, parties and have a good time, look carefully there are many good and decent girls out there who are also looking for you. You may think love only exists in fairy tales and movies but that’s not true, love is all around you ( think of the song by Wet Wet Wet) 🙂 , and just take a look at your grandparents who grew old together. 🙂 As the saying goes ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
