Love, if defined, is confined. It dies.

When two people are in love, usually one always loves the other person a little more, one always waits a little more, one is attached a little more and tends to feel the joy of bondage and the pains of sorrow a little more. I still try to interpret love, try to understand what it means, as a layman in its truest most purest form. Love can take so many forms, viz, love, affection, concern, fondness, attachement, worship, devotion are just few of the ways of defining love. t's not necessary to have all or a few of the above to be interpreted as love. Love is capable of taking new forms, as it ften does.

My limited exposure suggests that no philosopher, poet or author has ever defined any guidelines or a timeline for love. 'S' says that she feels strange when I talk about love that has been tested over time. "What on earth has time got to do with any set of emotions"?, she'll ask. "You can easily get attached to a person for a brief period and stay that way (for however long) and still call it love", she always argues.

I know people to whom love has happened more than once. Each time it happened to them, it has scaled to new heights of delight, expectations and fantasies. Love does keep you going, it does not come with a guarantee tag and neither does it deny you the joys of falling in love again. Love is a teacher..it helps us do better the next time.

Love is never all sorrows and not all joys, it is a lively mixture of the two as long as the people involved can afford. The capability lies in us whether to savor it or devour it. Love has always taught me to live my today and looking forward with enthusiasm for the coming tommorrow. Love has always made be do things that I thought were always beyond me.

You will never be able to understand or capture the moment love strikes you. It generally happens silently and unconsciously. Love has a way of sneaking into ur brain, identifying the hidden desires, wants, expectations and fantasies. As we meet people, interact with them over a period of time, the vibes enter our brain. Most of these vibes fickle away after a momentary lapse of time, there are a few that stay on and we call it love. It is very hard to sustain or keep any emotion captive if it is not willing to settle down naturally.

There is no science for love, no methods defined to make it happen. There are no ways to make love last forever. There is no way you could be sure that the person you love, loves you just as much, or even a little more. *Sigh*
