The couple was very close to me , they were the greatest lovers that I had ever known, their love would easily place Romeo and Juliet in the second rung. She was a mesmerizing beauty and he was the brightest brain of our times.....a case of talent attracted by charm and vice-versa.
But then, there was something that was lethal in their love. They always had an overdose of each other....would indulge until they fight...would indulge again after the fight is over, the cycle would go on. When asked ,'Why do you fight so much?', their reply would be,' Fighting makes us love each other even more'........somewhere I felt that in their quest for the pinnacle of love they were accumulating disgust.
I met this friend of mine recently, asked about his old beloved, his answer was 'That bitch'.....we did'nt need to talk any further on that. I was amazed that a relationship that was once the cynosure of all eyes would dwindle down to the level of calling 'A bitch'. Why do we love each other so much if we have to ultimately become sworn enemies? With love, comes possessiveness and with possessiveness comes jealousy....a good and healthy feeling leading to a poisonous one.
The problem that I saw in this relationship was that the love was not complemented by respect for each other.The positive qualities that once draw us to someone, fades as we go closer to that person and his negative qualities become more prominent. It is aptly said ,' Never go too close to the one you don't want to lose'.
It is not obsessive love but deep admiration that binds people together. Isn't it a little love and lots of respect thats required to keep all forms of relationship blooming?
