LOVE

That one special emotion that drives everyone crazy (in a good way though).

Love as defined in the dictionary “A strong feeling of affection.”

That’s it? That’s not all. May be we just do not have the paraphernalia to define it.

Ever wondered how much is written and said about love?

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to today’s Twilight all revolve around love. And that’s not the end. There is Music, Films, Drama, name it you have it all trudging along that one subject called Love. Love – Re-kindles the joy in a film maker, sparks a light in the eyes of an artist and always a writer’s muse.

All I know for now is that Love rules. Takes you on an emotional roller coaster. Let’s you see the world for once from those pink-tinted goggles.

Majority of us might have experienced that romantic love.

When in love you waited on the sidewalk to meet your significant other. They were late, leaving you red with anger. Only that it melted away like butter when they came for you. Those agonizing hours of waiting didn’t mean anything anymore.

You felt those teeny tiny butterflies in your stomach when you thought of them. Every moment was electric. Flowers blossomed in all colours. Rainbows appeared day after day. You woke with a smile and went to bed thinking about them.

All in all life made more sense.

Ding Ding Ding!!!

Reality check.

Happily ever after does not happen to everyone. To sum it up “The Sun sets even in the Paradise”.

Couples drift apart. Fall out of love. Sometimes move away from each other geographically.

Bottom line?  They separate for whatever reason it is. Some breakups leave us relieved; some put a dent in the heart.

Moving on can be very hard initially but here is the road map to successfully walk away from the heart wrenching disaster.
