Lovers promise the Sun, the Moon and the Stars; eternal love and lifelong commitment. Love elevates a person to superhuman capacities, turning mediocrity into excellence in the hearts and minds of the one who loves.
Expectations rise when in love, the heart swells with faith in another person more than one believes in themselves. The world shrinks into a very small bubble with just the two of them.
But...can one actually promise anything to anybody when they themselves do not know, what is waiting for them in future? Can one really promise to keep one happy when they themselves don't know what makes them happy?
Still ,we defy nature and make promises, promises for the future. Future, which is as unpredictable as life. Forgetting the need to believe in today, this very moment, the present which is as true and predictable as death itself.
When we love someone, it is not promises for the future that counts or are believable . It is "this moment" "right now" what matters and as time passes, promises have to be extended, kept and renewed every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every week, every month ,every year and years to come.
Yes! It is neither easy nor a bed of roses. As tiring as it might sound and feel, that is what a promise means. It is a job which needs one' s attention, focus, every breath, every moment for the rest of one' s life. A herculean task? True! That is what love is all about, one true moment at a time.
