love redefined...
Love is a magic word which makes the world spin... In the modern world love is also the most abused word. before we get into the specifics let us define Love: it is a relationship in which you put the other person in front of you. You value their feelings and respect their likings, eventually giving up or sacrificing what you value the most.
here is one such love story, which moved me... (original names have been changed)
As in any other love story, there was a guy named butter and the girl named ginger. Butter was a guy who kept to himself, self contented and happy person. Ginger on the contrary like most other girls needed a shoulder a guiding post, someone to help them out of their sorrows. - I don't know why most girls dream about a prince coming out of the sky who IS the medicine to all their sorrows, little do they realize it is in their hands rather than the prince himself- Butter, a normal, helpful and resourceful guy helps her out of her current problems.
Eventually as in any other love story, butter realizes that he has special feelings for ginger and gets counselling and finds out that the undescribable feeling he has is love. They realize that they are in love, and start building a future.
They start planning how they want their future to be, how they want their family to be. As in any other loving relationships, dreamz are unlimited, they dream about a bright future how it should be and so on.
Due to a career decision butter decides to move away from ginger for better prospects. Ginger respects his decision and they mutually agree that it is for their welfare that they are going to be separated by approx 8700 nautical miles. It was a conscious decision they made for their future.
Though there were uncertainities in their future, they hoped it will work out! - hope is a very strong thing- . As in any other traditional family, the family waves decide the choices of the children, ginger came to know of butter's family problems because of this relationship. Ginger did not respond, she probably had it in her back of her mind.
They were still getting so closer that everybody around would envy them. I guess it would have made people around butter and ginger to long for such a relationship. Then one fine day, something happened to ginger and she informed butter that, she was moving on with her life.
Butter was shattered, he wanted to fix the relationship, he tried to convince her. She seemed to be convinced at that moment, but she came back with a strong NO Butter was perplexed, he did not understand why ?
In due course, the original reason popped up, she was concerned that this cross cultural relationship might cause harm to butter's family. This concern was seeded by some bad experience of her relative and the fact that butter had some family problems due to this relationship.
She seems to have worried about his family more, than her need to have butter for the rest of her life, so she had decided to give him up back to his family.
Hearing this butter, was astonished to see her care. Though butter was not in a position to talk to his family he talked to them and explained the situation. Alas, it did not materialize.
Their main goal was to be with their families and lead a happy life. Since it did not materialize, they let go of their relationship for the welfare of the two families. Butter and Ginger had to let go of each other with heavy hearts, because they valued the parents who cared and loved them since they were born.
I'm confident, they did not let go of their LOVE... but they did let go of their relationship.
LOVE does not necessarily mean being together, letting go is also LOVE!

i understand.
We all want to fall in love. Why?
Because that experience makes us feel completely alive,
where every sense is heightened,
and every emotion is magnified.
Our everyday reality is shattered
and we are flung into the heavens.
It may only last a moment, an hour, or an afternoon,
but that doesn't diminish its value,
because we are left with memories
that we treasure for the rest of our lives.
an amazing story. its like reality king. but it was great; was in that situation before though.
