Love is not you, not us. It's them!

When normal people hear a love song, they think of their beau. When normal people look at a romantic movie, it warms their heart and they think of their lover. Most of them relate to their husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend when they hear the sound of the first rain.
Something strange happened yesterday when I heard the song Gerua from Dilwale. I liked the song. I liked what I saw. I heard it again. and again. and again. The song just seemed to go deeper inside me each time I heard it. It just oozed romance. So much of romance. It gave me the shivers. The whim whams.
And each of the 11 times that I heard it yesterday, I thought of love. I thought of how love brings people together and how it takes them apart. And No, I didn't think of the one love in my life. I thought of the eternal love that two people so close to me share. One of whom has been gone for an year now.
Amit and Sumedha- my two best friends. I can dedicate a hundred posts to them but nothing can ever do justice to the love they had. That zing, that passion, that chemistry that you only see in Shahrukh movies. I've seen it live. I've seen it blossom, I've seen it dwell, I've seen it grow.....I can't see it now but I know it's still growing. Not because Amit is gone. But because he lives on. He lives on not only in the way he loved her but because of the example he set. He lived the life everyone should live. He loved his gals how everyone should love. He wooed, he besotted, he adored her...And then he went away!
If shahrukh had met Amit, he wouldn't be calling himself the perfect lover anymore.
