We all love once, in our tender age, and that is the time we give our complete trust, our heart and everything to that person. We do not think twice before trusting someone. When we meet that special someone, who shares the same feelings you do, with Goosebumps all over you, with days and nights spent lying on the bed with your face in the pillow thinking about the special someone, hugging your teddy, unexplained smiles on your face early morning which parents find weird, and the mysterious dancing on the extremely hot sunny afternoon.

Yes, this is the magic of love. The world appears to be a wonderful place. The worst of the things appear amusing, fun and beautiful. There is a persistence tingling feeling in your heart and a constant flow of adrenalin. We stretch, and cuddle and move round and round in circles and all that is in your mind is that special someone.
Your restlessness carries u from one room to another, jumping up and down, making everyone in the house wonder what is wrong, apparently making it obvious to some smart mothers about what’s cooking.

“ring ring”.. the phone rings.. And you rush to your phone speedily, even overtaking the light and grab it to see that special someone calling. And you smile. And that is, the most wonderful feeling, your heart skips a beat and you lock your room, jump onto the bed and cuddle up to say “hiiiiiii”.

You have so much to say, so much to express, but you cannot keep up pace with your thoughts, oh, u also want to hear that special someone speak, want them to tell you the three eternal words, and not once, but again and again.

The most mystifying feeling is when u hear those special words from that special someone. When they say it with their whole heart, a surge of some unknown chemical, acid-like, suddenly fills up your heart, it’s a moment of immense pleasure, and your whole body gets numb, your senses stop working and it takes time to come to your normal self.

And as usual, you decide to meet, and before the meet, you look at yourself a 100 times in the mirror, look at every inch of your dressing, your hair, and yourself from every angle. You run to meet, but take care your hair isn’t spoilt in the process. There is something nasty in your heart that’s beating fast and oh, u see that person over there.. And it feels bliss. It feels like the whole world is in front of you. It feels like you have everything in this world that you need to live for. Slight tingling sensation is felt and a unavoidable blush-cum-smile comes on your face. No matter what you do, you cannot hide that smile.

And you finally meet. There is an awkward silence. And mysterious smiles. Suddenly, the awkwardness is broken and there is sharing of everything on the earth. And there is no limitations of topic. Anything under the sun is debated about. There are flirty punches in the process and some “pulling cheeks” which adds to the already present Goosebumps. Then again, when the time to go home comes, there is another silence. The realization of separation surges over and slowly, while walking, the hand lightly holds another. And at this moment, the hands seem the only living part of the body. The rest of the body is numb. NUMB. Even the breath stops. And the chest becomes heavy. While you are on your way back, your hand is sweaty. Your heart and breath have just started working again and nothing in the world seems real. It seems all a fantasy. Except for that special someone, the world is a blind place. U cannot see anything. No parents, no friends, no trees, no road, nothing. Just love. Pure, innocent love.

It is this feeling which makes you realize that this is the person you would fight the whole world for. This is the only person whom you want in your life, whom you will tell everything about yourself, every little secret. This is the person whom you will always walk with, and will sacrifice everything for the love and happiness of this person.

This love makes you forget your cell phone in the class, forget your books at home, forget your house keys in the garden, keeps the gas on without reason, makes you forget to eat food, forget that exams are coming, makes you forget everything around you.

You come home and hug and kiss anyone who opens the door. You are so excited, and happy and you hum a beautiful love song all day long..

I forget and forgive myself,
And live life happily,
While you bring back all sweet past,
And turn it into hate

You were my love, baby,
But you misunderstood me,
You thought I was your play toy,
And that, I could never see.

Never a thing in me did you love,
Just loved me for the care, that I showed you,
You hated my behavior, my looks, my walk, my hue,
You loved me because you had nobody new.

You called me a bitch,
And pointed fingers at my character now and again
The lost love, things and memories,
Can never again be regained.

Forgave you a thousand times,
Gave you lot of chances,
When the world went against you,
I fought them all for you.

They told me to be away,
And that u are harmful,
I told them all to get lost,
Because u were my love.

I loved you with my heart and soul,
I loved you with my mind,
All you gave me is slang and foul,
With not even one word kind.

The promises were true,
The pledges were true,
The support was true,
But the love was a lie.

Now we should cherish the good,
Than creating memories worse,
I rather live alone and friendless,
Than bearing all your curse.

Something that gives you pain,
Something that doesn’t let u live,
Something that kills u from inside,
Is called as a once love, now dead.

Love is when we trust,
When we share, when we care,
Love is the utmost happiness,
I have felt it, I swear!

An inspiration,

A dream is where Hope lives,

A dream is something to chase when life drags us down,

A dream is a song in the wilderness,

Good flowering from the mud of evil.

That is a dream.

Get yourself a dream,

Touch God and pray

And never, ever let your dream get away

jehan men utarati khushabuyen aapas men ghulati thi
aur tasvir banati thin bite hue kal kee
yoon lagata tha tumane kisi aur janam men di thin
kitana kuchh jard pannon men daba ek fool sookha de gaya…

kuchh door tumhara hath tham kar chali thin main kabhi
tumhare roomal men mere aansoo kya aaj bhi rote hain
badal ab bas tumhari hi tasvir banate hain
kitana kuchh meri bahon ko aasaman tanaha de gaya…

khamosh khoobasoorat aankhon men kho jane kee khvahish
ek lamhe men jindagi ji lene ka ahasas
janate hue bhi kee khatm nahin hoga, intazar tumhara
kitana kuchh hamadam mere mujhe pyar tera de gaya…

muskurahaten, sunahale khvab, jade kee baran dhup
chand se kee gaee kitani baten aur anakaha kuchh
kuchh tasviren aur kuchh adhoori si kavitayen
kitana kuchh bite kal ka har ek lamha de gaya…

Samajh paoge nahi, reet duniya ki nirali hai,
Kabhi mehfil yahan saji, kabhi jeewan ye khali hai,
Kabhi apna lage koi, kabhi jag hi begaana ho,
Kabhi tanhai ke mele, kabhi har din diwali hai.

Bhule Hai Kuch Is Taarh Hamein Ke
Aapko Samajhana Bhi Mushkil Hogaya,
Kya Pata Koi Khata Ho Gayi Humse
Ya Koi Aur Aapke Zyada Kareeb Hogaya…

Bewaqt Ko Jhunjhlakar Ro Pade,
Khokar Kabhi Use To Kabhi Paakar Ro Pade,
Khushiya Hamare Paas Kaha Mustakil Rahi,
Bahar Kabhi Hase To Ghar Aakar Ro Pade,
Kab Tak Royenge Kisike Sog Mein Baithkar,
Hum Ye Khudko Kitni Baar Samjha Kar Ro Pade…
