Theirs was a perfect relationship. She could make him cry and he could make her laugh. So perfectly did their temperaments match that sometimes, it was difficult to tell who was crying and who laughing. Needless to say, they fell in love. To the world he was just a person but to her he was the world. His love for her was true. No one could have loved anyone as much as he loved her.
The 'Institution of marriage' was their only hope. An Institution known to cure the truest and deepest of love.
Like all true love, theirs was soon cured.
She realized that her first love was perfect. Only till she found the second one.
Nothing could have been as hard for him as seeing the one he loved, love someone else. But he let her go. He didn't want her to love him because he asked her to love him. He wanted her to love him for loving him.
She had a choice to make.
A tough one.
She chose the second. A bright future, over past glory.
She looked out of the window. It was bright and sunny. Blooming flowers and chirping birds. A song in her heart. A spring in her step. The world looked so much prettier today. Her heart raced like it had never before. She closed her eyes and stepped outside.
Softly she called out and asked the chosen one to take her hand. To take her to pleasures hitherto unknown.
She waited awhile but no one come.
She opened her eyes.
What she saw left her aghast. The trees were bare, the birds were gone; the wind sent a chill down her spine.
But there he was. The love of her life. The most wonderful person she had ever known. He would shield her from this cold winter. He would always be there for her. She ran towards him.
But the closer she got, the farther he seemed. He was but a mirage!
The one she chose, was Love himself.
Love, that is but a journey
It lasts only till it is found..
The destination is that special someone...
to fall in love with, over and over again.
The one that she had left behind!
