What was love (to me)?

Don't raise your eyebrows. P L E A S E!!! Don't give that surprised, disbelief or disapproval look. I'm saying P L E A S E again. P L E A S E P L E A S E P L E A S E. After reading the post you may understand why I have choosen such a unusual title. Please let me finish first, then, who knows probably the title would make some sense in your mind too.

First FLASH BACK. Five, six or seven years back a movie *-ing Suneil Shetty, Johney Lever, Apoorva Agnihotri and others (other names I forgot, also includes the movie title). SS was the lone brother of five or six sisters. He was overcautious about them. He was also the angry young man of that area. So, every body keeps a safe distance from him. Johney loves one of the sisters. But he doesn't have the courage to tell her. So he get frustrated and one day, when he went to the bank he started asking people "Bhai saab aapne to pyar kia hoga?" standing on a queue over the bank counter. Some answered positively, some negatively, some answered neither. But one of them reacted like this- "Pyar! ye keya hota hai?" with full of hatred, neglectfully & disregard. That reply stunned Johney. After a little pause he reacted "Arre ye keya hai? kon hai?" pointing to that man.

(Before 2007) I was just like that man. I also used to think like that man.

What is love? Nothing. Only wastage of time. But now I can understand what actually love is. Now I can feel all the pain, all the joy, all the tears, all the memorable times, and for me that is love.

Don't know why this amazing feeling came to me so lately. Still searching the reason, still searching my love. And I think life will come to an end but my quest will never ends.

Roses are red my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet my love
But not as sweet as you.
