My Understanding of Love - Inspired by Stories of Lord Krishna

Mirabai: She loved Lord Krishna from a very young age and believed she was married to him. Krishna was her first love and her heart was forever his. She didnt care about her elite family or royalty or her husband's pride. She lived with her husband but didnt love him. Her love for Lord Krishna was selfless. He wasn't with her. He never spoke to her or confessed his love for her. She had seen nothing more than an idol of him, but it was all in the heart. She expected nothing in return; not even love. And when she had to chose between the two, she followed her heart. She spent all day, all night loving Lord Krishna. Locked herself up away from the rest of the world; staring at his idol and writing poetry confessing her love for him.

Radha: Lord Krishna had 16,000 wives of which i dont know the name of even one. But i know Radha. She wasn't one among them. In fact, she was married to another man. I dont know his name either coz thats not significant. She was married to him but her heart belonged to Krishna. They were bonded to each other beyond any physical or normally (following norms) accepted relations. It was all in the heart. They were in love.

So love is something that is felt for one special person. You know for yourself when you're in love though the rest of the world may not notice. Wedding need not give you the magical feeling of being in love. Taking care of a man's needs all day and sleeping with him at night is not love. Love is to look into a man's eyes with depth and seeing those eyes reciprocate feelings for you. Following social norms, getting married, etc are all from the head. Matters of the heart are just a little different. A lady can only love one man in her life, truely with all her heart. Everything else is from the head. For a woman, the person who has her heart is her love. He is to whom she is bonded, no matter what the world may assume or expect of her.

I Never Knew...

I never knew I could love another man,
Until I met him;
I never knew I could feel safe in the arms of a man,
Until he hugged me;
I never knew a man would care so much for me,
Until he kissed me;
I never knew I would have respect for a man,
Until I saw what he really was;
I never knew I would let another man hurt me,
Until he left me;
I never knew I had so much patience in me,
Until he decided never to come back...

And I never knew in spite of all this, I would still be thanking that man for all he's given to me!

P.S. I have forever loved him; still do and always will ♡

Celebrating Valentine's Day / 7th Anniversary

Do I miss You?
I only hope you know
how I cry each night
just needing to hold you so.

My life is incomplete
now that you're not here with me.
To touch you, feel your hug,
my tears would dry, my sadness flee.

I am reminded of how you love me
and that soon together we'll be
but time passes so slowly
how I need you here with me.

I love you so much
and to your love I'll forever remain true.
I remember that for every day we are apart
it's one day closer to you! 

My heart shall be with you.....

As long as my dreams are always of you
As long as a couple means only two
As long as forever contains me and you

As long as the moon shines in your eye
As long as faith will never die
As long as there's love between you and I

As long as we survive as a pair
As long as I know that you'll always care
As long as love remains true and fair

As long as your love keeps me from harm
As long as we're together, I'll always be warm
As long as I stay wrapped in your arm

I love you....
enough to fight for you
compromise for you and
sacrifice myself for you if need be

enough to miss you incredibly when
we're apart, no matter
for how long or how far

enough to believe in our relationship
to stand by it through the worst of times
to have faith in our strength as a couple
and to never give up on us

enough to spend the rest of my life with you
be there for you, when you need or want me,
and never ever want to leave you or live without you

To a Very Dear Friend...

You’re much more special than all my peers.
Someone on whom I can always rely.
Providing a hand to hold my tears
And a shoulder for my head to lie.

Every moment with you is precious to me -
Be it a hug, a kiss or just a momentary stare.
Its amazing to be in each other’s company.
There's a special bond only the two of us share.

Neither can I name it courtship;
That would not be a perfect fit.
Nor can I say its just friendship;
That won’t even count a bit.

Maybe this is something deeper.
Something more pure and true.
I don’t know what might happen later,
But surely I’ll always and only love you.
