Adventures of Love

Heard this often,

More than I can tell,

People claim that if need be,

to die in love, then I will

From where will the bullets rain on you?

Or cars come crashing down on you?

Neither will come the father of the bride

from Bollywood movies to take you for a ride.

No, you will not be the damsel in distress

For a prince charming to come sweeping down,

To sway you off your feet,

blow kisses at you and bow down at their knees!

For how long can you feel happy

About the melted and burnt candles,

The flowers, which are beautiful only when fresh

But then, finally, dry and wilt.

The spongy cake & ice cream in the cafe

That will lie on your waist as unnecessary fat.

The sugary sweet words that won't take you to forests or hills,

Or in the long run, my dear, pay your bills.

Why don't we instead

Rise and live in love?

No need for dramatic 'Hello's and 'Hi's,

Or looking for stars across the midnight skies.

No sudden tragedies or lightning strikes,

Just two imperfect souls, with simple likes.

Instead of a grand dinner in candlelight,

Let's share the chores and make the mundane shine.

Laugh at our flaws, embrace the daily grind,

A love that's built, not just in mind.

But in the quiet moments, strong and true,

The silly jokes, the "I'm here for you."

It's learning to forgive, to compromise,

And seeing wonder in each other's eyes.

So let the fairytales collect dust,

And trade the fantasy for honest trust.

For real love isn't a passive, gentle stream,

It's an adventure, a surprising, topsy turvy dream!

It's waking up and choosing every day,

To build a world where we can truly play.

A love that grows, adapts, and takes its flight,

Blazing, messy, beautiful, like the sunlight.

That pushes you to be yourself and do your best,

And live your life to the fullest with no regrets.

Isn't this how true love stories should be?

No fairies or prince charming, indeed!
