A Love So Sweet!

A “love so sweet”, the desire of man!

Gone are days when we used to love with our hearts, care for the loved ones as though caring for a precious stone which would break any time. There are days when I thought love was the best thing on earth and the best treasure that God ever gave to man. When I look at my grandparents, I just keep on wondering how far they have come and how they trekked together through the thick and thin times, for they never stopped looking lovingly at one another or ever caring for each other.

A “love so sweet” it was when I was with him feeling like it’s the end of it all and believing that my heart had found the best of its kind; a love full of comfort, peace, joy, happiness, laughter, and   most of all love. That sweet love that he blessed my life with made to believe that I had earned my precious gift from the heavens. There are times we argued like any lovers do but this too never tore us apart. My life, changed for the better with his love.

In life it is not a must that all things run the way you want them to. When it all turned sour, I saw the reality of savagery that hides within the human soul. It was time to open my eyes to reality of the true world that I live in. That which I treasured became nasty and filthy, for it was sadness that filled my heart. The “heaven sent” became “hell sent” as my life thinned into a corner living no room for me to think or push on with my life. Much as it was hard for me to come out of that shell, which had suddenly built around me, realization clicked in my computer of a brain that life always moves on even when you are at a stop.

Where did those times round up to? Where are those people who love for eternity? Why does it hurt so much when a “love so sweet” turns into a “love so sour”?  These and many other questions, keep on running through my mind without getting an answer for any of the questions. Could it be that today we eat different kinds of food stuffs that our grandees never ate? Or maybe our hearts have become darker as time went on! We say we love but in reality we are selfish, and we only want to please our ego. Let’s look back in the olden days so that we follow the footsteps of our grandees.  It is only then that we shall have the best out of love and be grateful for the persons we have at heart. A “love so sweet” should not grow into a “love so sour” but instead it should become sweeter as days go by and it’s up to you and me to make that work out in our lives.
