To love and let go....!

Nothing is for keeps. Easier said than followed isn't it? on the first look, seems like any other 'obvious' term, like "change is the only constant" and the likes..look a little closer and think hard. For a moment, step back, choose to stay still and gaze long and hard at your own life.

Right from the first toy that you broke to the first love you lost, Nothing is for keeps!  Letting go seems to be the toughest phrase. It seems so unreasonable and downright outrageous to let go of anything dear to us. The pillow that you drooled over for years, the rusted cycle that got you at the last moment to school, the first phone and all those things that you hide in your treasure chest (or even a harmless looking cardboard box) and guard protectively. Did i forget love??  U can throw away those coy moments, sweet nothings, shared pani pooris, petty fights, long walks, fighting for extra allowances (the list goes on..) into the incinerator and think you are done with it for good but there is always that little corner, yes that one corner which is covered in fake smiles, mindless spending, tattoo on the butt, drunken nights and hungover days which holds the pain. Now did i say pain? The pain of letting go of love seems to be the hardest. As i look around and see spurned lovers take drastic (nevertheless stupid)  decisions, i realize that after all the pain and dejection, we emerge; just to fall flat on the face for someone and endure the same old journey of love, longing and dreams.

So, when you demandingly ask that soppy friend to let go the next time, think about this... letting go is just another way of letting  time take its course to heal and put a patch work of love back again on the sore wounds. Again the heart goes into a frenzy and the world seems dizzy, time seems to pass by as you stand motionless and you fall hopelessly back in love.

 For we will all love and get crushed, smile and endure, pick up ourselves and love again... all at our own pace!
