WHEN THE SEARCH IS OVER

Love is the world’s most sought after emotion. The world’s most celebrated bond. Love is the sweetest produce of creation . And a couple’s most priced treasure. A treasure that’s worth fighting for. . It is the sturdiest fortress. I am that fortress. I may look tiny and weak but my love will not falter. My heart succumbs only to that which is YOU. 
My love is fixed. My heart is certain.

I wrote these lines for my Facebook status in lieu of our 10th wedding anniversary. Let us dissect each one of them:

Love is the world’s most sought after emotion.

We live to love and because of that notion we are bound to continuously, unceasingly if not desperately search for love. It is the one emotion that puts us all to ecstasy.

The world’s most celebrated bond. Love is the sweetest produce of creation.

Once we have found love, we never want to let go. Who would want to? That inexplicable feeling of bliss that paints a smile on your face even when you are alone? Of course, you’d never want to let go of that. Hence, we tell the world, how we found what most men and women are still searching for.

And a couple’s most priced treasure. A treasure that’s worth fighting for.

Among all things, love is the most precious. Along the way, love faces trials. At times, we become complacent and neglect to nurture it. In so doing, we forget that our love now is pushed toward a cliff. In most cases, it is then that we realize, we are not whole without love. We then, grab hold of whatever we can salvage. This routine may happen again and again. But we tirelessly fight.

 It is the sturdiest fortress. I am that fortress. I may look tiny and weak but my love will not falter.

Most skeptics think love is a weakness. Well, maybe because the world can use it as a leverage against you. As for me, the world is a place where love is breathed like oxygen. I don’t see the world as the villain of the story.

Love may not look physically sturdy as that of hatred, grudge and envy but it seeps in to each one of the aforementioned transforming them to its likeness.

My love is fixed. My heart is certain.

I know my heart. I am with no doubt in love with my husband. And no one else.

I am in love and I am more than willing to fight for it. No amount of HURT or BETRAYAL can change that.
