this strange thing called love

love
this is one topic that i would always fake that i don't want to discuss about. it's a cliched topic. no arguments on that one but still it's a fun topic,one hell of a common topic but every single person has different views about it. to someone it can be something as sweet as honey, just a bunch of bitter memories for someone, the sole reason to live for someone, shattered hopes for someone, a necessity for someone,a torn heart for someone, a pleasant company for someone, sheer loneliness for someone, hopes and expectations for someone, falls and crashes because of the expectations for someone; it all just depends on what you have been through during this certain thing called love. when starting to talk about love, even a layman becomes THE philosopher.
i still don't know if true love exists or not,it might or might not as well; for me it's yet to be discovered.if i had to have a say on what a successful love or supposed true love would be I'd say true love is when you would want to grow old with someone without any second thoughts and love would be successful if you are growing old together with that particular 'someone' and you still have no regrets even on the hardest times. i really don't think it's fair when two happy couples are compared to pairs like Romeo and Juliet,even when they themselves do that. you're supposed to make your own stories and not give damn about others when you're in love. the pairs you see on the mirror, that's what you really want to be and since you're already that, that's the one you want to remain. you've not really seen Juliet and Romeo discussing their future in Juliet's balcony, have you? (stop thinking about the movie,that doesn't count) so why try to follow the supposed when you have the real deal right with you.
the old couples on the park, i think they are the true romeos an Juliet's. they've conquered what they had always wanted to, they were able to fulfil their wishes of being together forever (i don't really know if that word exists for everyone). they've come a long way, together, helping each other and that is what really matters. the true happiness, the true undefeated successful love. a love that couldn't even be defeated by time.
