On the Other Side

I know what it feels like…
When dreams don’t come true
When hope is crushed by despair
When what you think is a perfect day is ruined by a few words
When love is not reciprocated
When the one person you think can make you happy tells you that you cant make them happy..

I know what it feels like…
To experience the feeling of utter loss
To feel the heart break
To feel like you’ve lost the very purpose for living

Today I also know what it feels like… to be the cause of that feeling….

Love Actually...

What is love really?
How does the depth of the emotion get defined?

The feeling of wanting to spend more time with the person so that you can just talk…
The quiver of anticipation that runs through your body every time the person looks towards you…
A few stolen glances…
The tingling excitement of the first touch…
The schoolchild like euphoria when you first hold hands…
3 hours spent talking to each other a dime a dozen…
Or a day spent without any conversation but just enjoying each other’s company
Wanting to tell your friends every little detail of what has happened.. giggling like a schoolgirl
Or holding it back feeling smug about the secret that is only yours to enjoy…

The overriding feeling that makes you want to throw caution to the winds...
Or the sense of responsibility that makes you reign in the excitement... making u realize the stakes......
