Love is in the air

I guess, I may have surprised you this time around by writing a poem when you would have least expected this from me. Ironical, as it may sound, I wanted to do this for quite some time and it kind of materialized only now. What you may have in mind needs to be expressed out be it in outspoken sentences or written sentences. It needs to go out of the system at some point in time. While some needs to be coughed up, some needs to be kept inside for once said, it can never be taken back, just in case you want to retract what you had said. So one needs to be cautious especially when it has be etched in words. But what I love about you is that, despite my failings, rage and unbridled fury you still love me with all your heart and soul. Though you keep saying, throw all your frustrations at me and I am here to absorb them on your behalf, it’s unfair of me to do it all the time. After all you are my soul partner and as humans we can take or leave only as much as a person can absorb, beyond which it has to spill out. Though I perfectly realize that, as you rightly say, I am one obstinate person who would never ever relinquish, what I strongly feel about, openly to you. In my heart of heart though, I definitely feel the searing anguish you undergo every minute, especially when I put you through the same when I am absolutely mad at you for not obliging to my needs. This may be an opportune moment for me to say how deeply I am sorry for the same and how much I love and care about you more than anything else in this world. You, sweetheart, are my lifeline and I would cease to exist but for you.

You have given your precious 15 years of life to me and to this family that you have owned up as your own. It’s such a sacred thing to do for a woman to leave everyone out with whom they have lived their life, for 25 years in your case, and to start afresh with another person and his family with whom she has no idea about what they are and what they bring to the table. When I think of it from your point of view, it’s a bit scary indeed. What is this called, belief, faith, obedience or expect or explore the unknown with or without a semblance of fear. This marriage of two individuals has to result not just in commingling of two bodies but of mind and soul too. We may have our own differences in terms of expectations, outlook, thoughts, preferences, likes and dislikes, yet when it comes to life…we converge as we realize the need to move forward in unison. We give into each other’s anticipations and beliefs from time to time as that’s the core principle and foundation upon which family life is built. Neither of us do it out of force or compulsion but due to the fact that we know that’s the right thing to do. We place the other person ahead of us and that’s the reason why our love that blossomed 15 years ago has lived through this many years without losing its fragrance or fading into a distant past.

My dearest, like I have always said, I love you for what you are…a simple, charming, likeable character who does not feign to be someone else, speaking your mind about anything, anyone or in general about life.

Your everloving

Hubby
