Love and loss...

Life is a complex phenomenon.

Invest too much, risk too much and you can stand to lose it all...
Keep up your guards, play is safe and you never really live at all...

What is one to do?

Take LOVE for example.

We cannot help it.
We cannot control it.
We do not choose who we fall in love with.
We cannot help loving those we love...
We cannot make them love us back...
We cannot even "unlove" them...

We can simply feel...

And to those lucky ones who find a love that is reciprocated- hold on to it tight
Embrace you "salt" in life. Embrace your peace in life. Embrace your joy in life.

And to those not so lucky- who are reeling from the wreckage of broken hearts- be kind to yourselves and don't lose hope... Keep the flame kindled and lit. Don't build walls. Let it find you... and it will... Always believe and it will... Remember you cannot control others- but you can control yourself. Always have love within you.... and there will always be love in your life.

And to those "IDIOTS"-

Those:

I- I
D- do
I- ishq
O- only
T- tum
S- say

To those I say-
Wake up and see the light.
Wake up and see the beauty.
Wake up and see the blessing....
That you have-

A love so beautiful it gives you wings to fly.
A love so cruel it brings you down to your knees and breaks you up.
A love so profound it has a category all its own.
A love so apart there are no rules to rely on.
A love so pure
So real
So honest
So passionate
So helpless
So strong
So crippling
So strengthening
So true
So...
YOU!!!!

Live it...
Simply live that love
For it is truly a gift!
From HIM....

This one is for three friends- very near and dear...
Hey you- enjoy your "salt"!
Hey you- Hold on to yourself, for this will hurt like hell but I am here to lend a hand... others are here to help you up... we will be here, we'll see you through... hold on tight... we've got you!
And YOU! Hey you- for you there is simply....
...you...

shanaz you write soooo beautifully that I do NOT have words to describe how beautifully you write!!!

You write in such a way that other people can relate to it just like everytime I visit your blog...whatever u write...It is simply beautiful!!!

You are a really really good writer Shanaz..May ALLAH always bless you.

Dont you think that we can NEVER stop writing about "love"??? There is so much to say when we try to write about "Love."

Anyways I totally agree with you on that "We cannot help it.
We cannot control it.
We do not choose who we fall in love with.
We cannot help loving those we love"

That is so true Shanaz!!
Sometimes we just hope and wish that if I had a choice to fall in love I would have never fallen in love but it just happens.
DO you think that is there anyone in this world who would never fall in love OR who can stop themselves to fall in love???

Shanaz do you think that love CAN change one's behaviour??? Can love change temper?? My personal experience tells me "yes" it can. The person who fall in love with me was really bad tempered but was so sweet to me. Was mean to everyone but sooo nice to me :(

Shez, one cannot be more true about this emotion of 'love' than what you've just revealed to your readers, especially me!

I admire, rather I adore your work sometimes! This is a very perfect explanation of the emotions and motions that human beings face when faced with the challenges put forward by all the 'love gone bad' and the happiness that one gets by 'finding true happiness in love'.

Tell you what, I love you for your work! Thanks for this soooo hot writing that showed this goof the real essence of love.. (I never thought about it! I mean, where the heck has my mind gone?? :P)

Signed,
H.T.

There is something different-i must say-A note of finality,and of determination in this post of yours.
And i could'nt help but notice that you start lending your hand to others even though you have just found solid ground beneath your feet.

but i must say one thing! Keeping the fire kindled after getting rebuffed ! Is not easy.
Blessed as thou we might be. It sucks the whole life ahead of us and leaves nothing but a black hole. Makes you wonder if you would spend the rest of your life in fear, dreading you might never find love like that again! Or if you do, start the cycle all over again.
Like i said, its not easy.

& a Lol :D at idiots definition!
n yes indeed to Mannan's comment. its not easy! really not when u are left alone in the dark tunnel! its even really hard to stand up by urself unless and until someone pick you up and show the light so far whether someone new, parents or a dearest friend!
Life is cruel and with a broken heart there is no beauty in it!
