True love-



I wonder some days at moments in time...
What mysteries await
That will unfold
Just when the moment is right-

Personal Legend

...to thine own self be true...

Life is a constant struggle between trying to follow your own interests- or as Coelho describes it, one's "personal legend"... and one's "love interests". Often times they are in conflict but they don't have to be...

A true love will never hold you back from pursuing your personal legend. A true love will recognize that to be truly happy one must first be true to themselves. In that state and in that state only does one return to complete unity with one's own self. It is only when we have ourselves that we can share ourselves with another.

Intimacy and love also, are born out of this sharing...

I long for love and intimacy
the real kind...
when they happen
I shall have found 'my true love'

Woh log bo'hat khush kismat th'e
Jo ishq ko kaam samajhte th'e
Yah kaam se ashiqui karte th'e
Hum jeetay ji masroof rahe
kuch ishq kiya kuch kaam kiya
Kaam ishq ke aare aata raha
Aur ishq se kaam ulajhta raha

Phir akhir tang aa kar humne
Dono ko adhura chod diya

@nancy

ishq ko chahay choro adhoora
dil ko apnay na tukhra
aye ashiq
tum hi to ishq ho!

That's the dilemma of life, you can't have everything.You do need to compromise somewhere, like they say, you can't have your cake and eat it too.You can have no strings attached relationships, if you are too committed to your career, but having someone who will stay with your forever, you need to give up somethings.

Well we all have a different definition of true love. May we all get our respective versions soon and those of us who already have it, may me manage to hold on to it :D
