This is a response to the wonderful drabble posted by oye_nakhrewaali depicting Priya's idea of love. Be sure to check it out. https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/post/158607610
To Love Is To Live
Love. Love is a warm blanket on a wintry day. A cup of hot chocolate to ease the nightmarish reality of the world. Love is happiness. Love is life itself; the only reason to exist. So everyday, Ram vows to himself that he will not shy away from sharing his love with everyone around him.
But it would be wrong for him to say that on some rainy nights, he doesn't catch himself wondering what it would be like to be loved back. He lets the rain drops wash away the thought. So what if he isn't loved? To love is a happiness in itself. And that is enough.
