To love and to be loved💫 |Deepsikha Roy|

To those little innocent lies,

When stomach was all about butterflies.

Butterflies in the breathe,

Each look made the heart sink little underneath.

 

To the cheeks with those natural blush,

That made the adrenaline rush.

Rushing every time for a single meet,

Made us discover some fresh definitions of our heart's beat.

 

To those shy hesitations of crossing fingers,

When walking miles made us linger.

Lingering every night to talk more,

Anxious feelings used to knock just to adore.

 

Remember love?

 

Remember love when it was the most unadulterated thing that existed in this universe? 

 

Remember love when Wikipedia couldn't define it? 

 

Today, love has diverse definitions. Entertainment media bestowed us with a variety of elucidations to love and to be loved and we profoundly act in accordance to the criteria set by them.

From roses to rumours love has travelled a long way. Today love has definitions of trust, loyalty, compromise, adjustment and much more. Earlier, all these restrictions were meant only for commitment and not for love. Present day, love is a commitment.

Love is everything that has been specified in social media. To adore and to be adored, we have to limit ourselves in the fence of these specifications. We can't openly hold hands of our loved ones because it looks creep. We have to curb on posting pictures with our special ones as it can be a sign of showing off. We can't celebrate the day of love. How can we do that? That is strictly against the law of the mass media which says these things look cheap, cheesy and immature.

Dear people, social media is a big thing. It has served us with a lot of connections and entertainment but don't let this empower your actions. We don't need to implement the opinions over there in our personal life. We don't need to judge us and others in accordance to the parameters we scroll. You can hold hands in public, post pictures with your loved ones, celebrate love and the day of love without being hesitant about what mockeries and negativities others are going to put up in their stories in hostile to your elation.

This valentine's day, feel free to love and to be loved. Let the butterflies in the stomach giggle, let the cheeks be blushed naturally, let the love to be undefined once again. It is absolutely fine if you are excited for valentine's day and want to celebrate the day of love with your special one. It won't be making you less trendy. Don't let social media restrictions define your maturity.

Get back to the days when love couldn't be defined,

Sparkling just in our hearts and mind.

Love inside our heart what we used to behold,

Now it seems to be sold.

Sold in the world we scroll,

Leaving the heart with clusters of loophole.
