Goodbye to Love

I've seen people breaking down 
after their loved ones leave them. 
I've seen them shatter into pieces, 
the pieces which are hard to put 
back together.

I honestly do not get any of this 
getting-into-a-relationship thing 
and how a person becomes the "reason for living" for the other.
Weren't you living for a long time 
without that person since you were born?

Moreover, why give people such 
importance and respect that when 
they leave you, you begin to break? 
No human is perfect enough not to 
hurt your feelings.

A thing like relationship needs 
time and commitment which many 
of us are not in a position to give.

I am not against relationships,
I'm against the fact that how 
getting into it confides you, 
takes you away from the things 
you like to do and makes you 
live according to the whims of 
the other person whom you love 
because of which you both begin
to fall apart.
If we have to do this, 
is it really love? 
Not for me.

Love is a something which liberates 
you from the tragedies of life instead 
of pushing you into one. 
Love is accepting the flaws and 
habits and not changing them.
Love sets you free, 
it doesn't imprison you.

So why waste your youth in living 
according to someone else's choices? 
It's not always wrong to love
But wait, wait till that liberating 
feeling comes, until it makes you 
touch the cloud​ nine and makes 
every moment a blessing.
Do not become a puppet, 
you do not deserve it.

Become the writer of your own book. 
Explore the world and yourself, 
there is still a lot to be seen and 
experienced. 
Till then, goodbye to love.
