It was a beautiful Sunday evening…
All alone I was nearly dozing…
Thinking about our future…
Not so sure will our thoughts come true
In scorching hot sun it only we two!!
Long stretches of land and the lonely dessert..
Everything was harsh…we were all alone…
Because that was the cost we paid for our love…
We truly loved each other and weren’t gonna part…
For this we had to pay family and friends all going apart…
The initial days…we were very happy together..
We were enjoying the cozy comfy world we created for each other…
But Oops!!! That was just a start…
The black clouds started showing their art!!
No elders to guide us and be near….
No kids to laugh aloud and cheer…
Differences were all and only that arose…
Love and the understanding ..all just froze
Thoughts that now crossed were…What a mess it is being together
Tears, regrets and sorrows was all we were left with for each other…
And all of a sudden….I felt a vibration…
It was his sister…asking for coffee evening…
And Gosh!! it just felt like the bad dream got off its wing
All I realized with tears in my eyes…
And smile that was about to rise…
Our Families our with us…in all our sorrows and all our joys!!!
…This was a potrait of Another shade of love….we need a life partner for sure but one person does not comprise of entire family. You may make a new family with your partner but there will always be something missing without the elders and vice-a-versa you might make your name in society even if children marry their choices but without them society wont complete your family. Both elders as well as children need each other equally.
