To Fall in Love..

What does it feel like to FALL in love? Why do they say fall in love and not, rise? After all, love is meant to lift you up and not to pull you down further? I wonder if, ‘to fall in love’ is just another irrational use of English.

To fall in love is, a beautiful feeling and don’t trust anyone who says otherwise. To fall in love is like to jump from a 10,000ft high cliff, only to enjoy the 5 secs of descend down to the ground. To fall in love is like to try your first drug, because everyone else around you has tried and it seems to be working wonders for them. Falling in love is like investing all your money in that one stock that only YOU find alluring – you and only you get the returns, even if they are negative. To fall in love is like working day in and day out for your board exam, and finally getting those questions that are your favorite!

To fall in love is the most beautiful thing, but to fall in love with the right person at the right time that my friend, is more important and magical. To fall in love with the right person and at the right time is to not feel even a second’s regret on jumping off that 10,000ft cliff. It’s like trying that drug, which is just beneficial for you and you stay with it forever; completely dependent. It’s like investing the stocks when the markets are at a all time low, and right after which they hit the greatest high of all times, with every passing day. To fall in love with the right person at the right time, is like to see your efforts showing colours after you worked your ass off for those board examinations.

To fall in love is beautiful. To fall in love with the right person at the right time is even more blissful. And to add to it, to stay in love with that right person, that is where the heavenly part of your life begins.

To stay in love with that one person who makes you feel complete even after so many shortcomings. To stay in love with that one person who compliments all your infirmities by his/her actions. To stay in love with that one person who takes efforts to make a difference in everyday of your life no matter how difficult you or the situations become. To identify this person, to value them and to stay in love with them is the most heavenly part of a relationship.

I am no expert on relationships. But one place where I would blindly trust my intuition is to stay and to hold on to that one charismatic person and trust the powerful magic of love and longevity.
