Love: An Adventure

An adventure is not meant to reach a particular place.
Neither is it meant to achieve a target or a certain goal,
Nor is it done to see who’ll be first to reach the top or who completes it in the shortest time.

When you go out on an adventure.
You completely live the adventure.
You fall in love with each and every part of the journey, be it good or bad.

You fall in love with the small hotels and restaurants,
You fall in love with the local food which they provide.
You fall in love with the roads that take you to the starting point of that tough climb.
You create a great bond with the fellow people who accompany you in the adventure.

You love the view of those huge tall mountains
You love all those different variety of trees
You fall in love with different shades of Green
You love the soil, and its smell.
You adore the local people, their cultures, their dress,
their language and of-course all those polite gestures.

You love those sounds of the birds chirping
You love all the songs that you sing along
You love those small breaks where you take a little rest
And gossip on topics no one can even imagine of.
You love that mutual support and understanding,
And the way everyone helps each other out.

In the process you may face some injuries
There’ll be lack of food, water no where to be found,
You’ll feel thirsty and hungry and may want to quit..
As your bodies are tired and on the verge of breaking apart.
But you still love all these adverse situations
As you’re determined to see the view from the mountain top.

It’s not this view which we remember in the end..
All those small moments and memories that stay forever
registered in our mind
that we created on our way to the top.

My love for you is also like an adventure..
I do not demand any right on you
I do not want any control over you
I do not want to own you or get you
Love is not like a mountain top
You don’t achieve or reach someone’s love

Love is rather like a journey, an adventure
You live each and every moment of it..
You love your first eye contact with her..
You love the dress that she wore when you first met her…
You love the intense color of her long dense hair
You love her ever-shining liquidy eyes
You fall in love with each and every aspect of her face..
her perfect face cut,
her sharp eye-brows,
her long eye-lashes,
her geometric nose,
her fluffy cheeks,
her artful ears,
her substantial forehead,
her tiny chin and of-course…
those blooming reddish-pink lips.

You love each and every aspect of her
You love all those moments that you spent together
And even those moments where you couldn’t make it.
You love all the time that she gave you attention and priority
And even those times where you were completely ignored.
You love all her acts that made you smile
you wanted to give her a really tight hug.
You also love those acts which made you angry
you were tempted to give a tight slap on her face.
You love her as she is, be it good or bad.

To get or lose something is a tendency of a trader or a businessman.
You do not trade in love.
Love for sure is not a business.
Love indeed is like a prayer….
You are my love.. I’ll always love you
And no matter that the situation arises
You’ll be in my prayers
And I’ll always pray for you.
