Seasons of Love

Info

WINTER: Plants are resting, some have died

At a stage in life where true love starts to feel like a myth and you think, everybody that is walking into your life is just another lesson.

Do you stop? No, you don't.

You become concealed maybe or harsh perhaps.. build a wall, engage yourself into something distracting like drugs or something productive like work.

You negotiate with life, the pain doesn't really go away but you get along with it and slowly you forget if it was there all along! not eventually but with time.

You emerge as a totally new person.. a stronger one, with better lifestyle, good habits or maybe not; but definitely unlike the one in past who was hurt and suffered.

Little did you know that all the landmines and traps you had set are gonna fail you so bad. There right in front of you that person will walk in, just with their simple "HI" all your built walls will fall.

SPRING: Plants sprout and start to grow

Before you even know you'll be smitten again. Oh well! wont happen that dramatically but get the feel of it, it happens.. how much ever hard you try.. "Heart! your job is to pump blood, stop fooling around" IT HAPPENS!

It's new.. you are all pumped up! texting..on calls...video calls.. lost in a different dimension.Blushing all the time, everything that belonged to you is now shared.. your thoughts, your time.

SUMMER: Plants bloom & grow

Nice. Isn't It? It is pretty amazing, the feeling.

You start doing things you thought you were incapable of.. you become invincible. You become a poet,a singer, a dancer everything at once.

You get used to a certain kind of behavior.. like being called by the weirdest nick name ever "SUGARPLUM", but you find that cute.. Don't you!?

You adapt to the habit of seeing their "GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE" text every morning or a certain pattern that was unfamiliar before them.

You enjoy the attention of this certain someone, you start clearing your schedules, make time for them. Change your priorities, from nobody to the most contacted person in your call list. Promising a life long contract. Reality hits.. HITS HARD!

AUTUMN: Plants mature & start to die off

Slowly it gets into a state where you both wonder if its worth it!? worth the time, the efforts. You start questioning the existence of love and trust. This is the stage where you have to work your indifference and that's what decides the future of this relationship. You give up, it's gone.. you water it, it 'might' blossom.

So what exactly seems to be the cause.. the answer is TAA DAAA.. : "EXPECTATIONS".

Did that come as a shock? Not really!

When its new you enjoy it.. nil expectations. It grows to be a little more serious, you expect time and attention. With the bond the expectations increase followed by disappointments.

You are suffocating, breathing under the water. It harms your health your surroundings, it becomes TOXIC.

Do you want to end it? Yes.

and that's what you do.. on good terms.. a little bitter maybe but it concludes. Once again you decide to build those walls...

Or maybe it dint end this way.. maybe you had a happy ending after all. Troubleshooting all problems you stayed along.. ended the pity human life in each others embrace. MAYBE..
