More often than not people around us tell us that we need to find love in people who satisfy certain ‘normal’ conditions of religious upbringing, caste, color, community, social status, gender orientation etc etc.
This post is dedicated to every person who has had the courage to recognize love in themselves and in another beyond the peripheral differences, be it for a day, a month, a year or an entire lifetime. Happy Valentine’s Day!
To some people who ask, how we came to be? I say:
S(he) and I existed in two separate worlds or so it appears to be.
Born in lands rooted in the same Earth but torn apart by dotted lines
Raised in different religions and different cultures
One would think what common could there possibly be?
Life placed us together in a time/space co-ordinate
Strangers we were, united by forces we couldn’t see
We talked about the beauty of our lands & the pain created by wars
We talked about the one God who gave us all different paths
We let love guide us into these uncharted territories.
In a world where fear, greed and lust reign supreme, we challenged each other to face our demons and be the best we could be
To some people who ask, how we came to be? I say:
How could I not be me?
How could you not be you?
In this universe where not much moves without grace, the ‘us’ that we are was not chosen by you and me.
