Love… perhaps the most powerful word in the universe. A simple four letter word
that is so pure and complete in itself. Something that everyone desires, few lucky ones find it, most don’t but one thing is for sure, everyone needs it. I am a strong believer in love and for me love comes ahead of everything else. I can talk intellectually, think with my grey matter seriously but when it comes to love I can become a complete fool. But being a fool in love never bothered me. For me love is unconditional and my friends laugh at me for the very same reason. They think I live in a fantasy world which never exists but for me it is as real as my very own existence.
As Valentines Day is approaching everybody’s focus is on love. I was still in my high school when I first heard about this day. Those school days are still fresh in my mind. Boys trying to hide flowers underneath their shirt, girls waiting anxiously expecting to find a card under their books and our school teachers screaming at us for emptying the school garden, It was fun but then I doubt did any of those people who gave cards and flowers know what they were doing? I bet no. It was just a trend that was going on and being the teenagers my friends had to do it. I was one in my group who didn’t have a boyfriend and for the very reason I never got a card or a flower. All the love stories during my school days came to an end once the school days were over. I saw my friends crying on the last day of school for they would miss their boyfriends/ girlfriends but after few months I saw the same person in someone else’s arm. Love was so easy for them, for they could find it and loose it whenever they wanted. As a teenager, I somehow thought very differently. There is a little place in our imagination called dreams and I dreamt to meet a man whom I could love forever.
I believed in my dreams and I knew I would find him some day. One of my friends once told me “You don’t have to search for your love, it will be a divine accident and your heart will know him”. The day I met him I realized how true my friend was. It was indeed a divine accident and the moment I saw him I knew he was the person I would love forever. He was the first person I agreed to go on a date with, the first person in front of whom I blushed and the first person for whom my heart skipped a beat. Finally after a long wait love had touched my life. The best days of my life are the days I have spent with him. Smiling, gazing or just trying to understand each other’s silence, every moment with him was extra ordinary. Love gave a new meaning to my life. It gave me a reason to smile and a reason to look forward to another day. I would fall asleep thinking about him, smile alone gazing at the stars and live my life filled with strange happiness.Watch one of The Nepali Valentine Song
