Love hits you in the most unpredictable ways and at an unexpected time. Even though the other person loves you silently, you are bound to feel the warmth, love, and affection. That’s the magical power of love. But it is often said that “what comes easy doesn’t stay long.” Seems like it applies to love and relationships.
Very few people experience the pain of eternally waiting for a true love. When you are especially a love-lorn, one deception or wrong person is enough to shatter your trust in the authenticity and genuineness of relationships. Yet, god creates someone to ‘cushion’ you from bad experiences. Or at least in the end, you are bound to receive the love that you have always yearned for and deserve.
