Sometimes loving someone, is not such a great thing after all...
How much you care for the girl standing a few feet away from you, barely noticing your existence. How much you care for the way she tosses her hair and the way she makes your life worthwhile. How much you care for the way she just stands there like an angel, brightening your day with nothing, but a look of her.
Oh! How much you care for the girl. All it would take for you to break the ice, would be three little words, and maybe, she’ll say yes, maybe you’d get married someday, have a cricket team (referring to 11 children) and live happily ever after. Well maybe not married, but the idea of going dating with her, is more than just appealing. Should you? Should you not?
Innocent three little words, which say all that’s on your heart and mind, all you’ve been meaning to put across for ages, but been shy or scared to. All it takes is just three little words. There’s so much power in those words. It can make just about anyone’s day, yet they are used for just the special ones.
What if she never talks to you again, what if she doesn’t come near you again, only because you were brave enough to walk forth and say three little words? Well, take your chance. And oops! There she goes, stomping over those three little words, informing you “We are nothing but friends”, and walking away like the candle losing its light, in a matter of seconds.
And then, all of a sudden, innocent three little words, become a mistake. The world comes crashing on you, and everything you thought was so beautiful and what everyone called “love” was now what everyone called “stupidity”. You loose sleep, loose your appetite, become a heartbroken lover, looking out of the window wondering, “What’s wrong with me?” and the girl responsible, is probably having a gala time.
Months later, you realize, “She was just not worth it” and you begin a new journey with another girl standing few feet away from you checking her lipstick in a little pocket mirror.
Life is full of saying three little words, to people you thought were perfect for it, only to realize later, it was a mistake. Grieving over losing someone you confessed to is however, worthless. Because it takes two to cuddle, two to snuggle, and needless to say, two to love. And when its one-sided love, its one-sided hurt, one-sided pain and one-sided remorse. You don’t have to be a genius to guess which side.
Three little words come in all shapes and sizes. For readers, wondering what that’s supposed to mean, let me be a little more specific. What I mean by “shapes and sizes” is precisely the depth of the meaning of it. Trust me, more than 80% of the people saying it, barely mean it from their hearts, and the ones who do, are not guaranteed to get a fully-fledged response from their sweethearts.
The 21st century brings in more than just love, it brings love a whole new digitally equipped form, commonly known as — flirting. And where there is flirting, three little words are said only from the mouth, and not from the heart. And that’s when three little words loose their importance, their meaning and of course their innocence.
Being in love is a beautiful feeling, but being in love with the wrong person, is a lifetime supply of pain. Look deeply into the pretty girl standing a few feet away from you smoothing her skirt. Maybe she’s a whole different person than you anticipate her to be. Give yourself ten reasons why you love her, and I do not mean making them, her eyes, her nose, her lips. I mean more of internal characteristics, which makes her different from the others.
As someone rightly said, “Don’t confuse the gift with the wrapping”. Surely, the outer you may be pleasing, but what we are talking about in the term “love” is the inner you, and if its just the outer you under consideration, that’s not love, we simply term it as “infatuation” and love has no place for such “infatuations”, and rightly, you cant bother having a cricket team with an “infatuation”.
Three little words make a whole lot of difference. So next time you’re saying those three words to someone you really (truly, madly, deeply) and intensely mean it for, make sure, she’s worth it. Make sure, she’s not an “infatuation” or just the wrapping. Because when it comes down to love, it is a beautiful gift, no matter what the wrapping might be.
And when three little words are not only said, but felt, that’s true love”
