Do you love me?

How many times have couples asked, doubted or wondered...'Do you love me?'

I am one such person.


There is this constant need to reassure myself, that she is still loving me. As much as I know people change, as much as I know no amount of promises can make her stay when she decided to go one day...I juz need my daily dosage of verbal assurances.

How superficial are all these sweet nothings? How insecure are we?

To me, Love is and will always be a 'weird' phenomenon. Love has no explanations, no logic, no differences...Love bridged all races, religions and cultures. Love never tries too hard. Love comes when we least expect it, leaves when we ask too much from it. Love is never taking, always giving....sometimes happiness, sometimes sadness. Love isn't always fair, Love never tries to be right or do us wrong. Love never justifies.

Sometimes when we love someone, we get so engrossed that we forgot what is loving all about. We become selfish, self-centered, self-denial. We forgot what our partners want, we start to tag actions, words, expressions to justify Love.

Ask 'do I love u?' instead because that's all it matters. Whatever you do will be self-explanatory.

Count your blessings to have love and been loved before.

"If you do not love me I shall not be loved. If I do not love you I shall not love.

~ Samuel Beckett
