Of Love and Longing

Love, as we know is the purest of all feelings. The best of every relationship is an outcome of love.

"A happy relationship is like a rose, with love in its each fold."

Love is like a saviour, and hatred, a devil. When we love someone, we feel attached to them. And when we do not have what we desire, it is longing.
Longing means a desire to get something or someone you love. A desire as small as getting a new dress you fancied when you saw it at the showroom, or a desire to achieve success of which you have dreamed of, or wanting some one to love you.
Some people mistake longing with suffering. Longing is not suffering, it is a sweet pain which you experience, when you really want something or some one. Infact, it is the best part of a relationship, when you actually realise how much you love someone.

When I was young, I used to stand at my balcony for hours to wait for my dad when he used to go out for work. The happiness achieved after longing for someone for a long time, is a unique one.
My mother says.. What is love, without longing.. Very true it is, how will you feel the pleasure of love if you have not suffered the sweet pain of longing.
We realise the intensity of our love by the longing. It is a unique feeling, waiting for someone just to be with them, hear their voice, feel their presence. You must have seen lovers swearing to each other about spending their lives together, waiting for the day, when they will be together. Each day passes with longing to be with their lover. You must have been wondering, how pitiful situation they are in. Actually, they are very lucky to experience the pleasure of longing for someone because real happiness is achieved after getting something for which you have longed for.

Longing for some one may appear to be painful for a while, but according to me, it is the most beautiful part. You actually get to know, how much you love them, how much you want to be with them, what all you miss in them. It is not difficult if you see the positive side of it. Think of the happiness you will experience when you get what you were longing for. The happiness accumulates with each day of longing. And when it ends, the moments spent together make unforgettable memories.
Never blame the distance between you and your loved ones, just think of the joy you will get when the longing ends.
