Not written by me but I thought I'd share this poem...
There are different well within your heart
Some fill with each good rain,
Others are far too deep for that.
In one well
You have just a dew precious cups of water,
That "love" is literally something of yourself
It can grow as slow as a diamond
If it is lost
Your Love
Should never be offered to the mouth of a
Stranger,
Only to someone
Who has the valor and daring
To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife
Then weave them into a blanket
To protect you.
There are different wells within us,
Some fill with each good rain,
Others are far, far too deep
For that.
I don't know why when I read this it reminded me a little of Bhagonwali...some of the words resonated. Something of what this story represented and meant to me...
I remember days when the story was so gentle and every glance and gaze was meaningful...it was like watching a flower bloom slowly...
Two different...lonely...mostly misunderstood characters coming together...finding a sense of comfort within each other and completing each other in only way the other can...in the emotional sense.
There was Guddu...all rough around the edges...a thug in all senses but with a heart of gold that he rarely showed.
There was Runjhun...simple and sweet...but yet was never appreciated and never loved...
I could spend hours talking about how their relationship developed with the sensitivity and the delicacy that was so natural and unassuming...I gushed over the slightest emotions and touches that didn't even have to be physical but spoke volumes.
From the way they stared at each other in those initial days...Guddu trying to intimidate, Runjhun staring back because she was true to herself and wasn't easily intimidated...
Then came the misunderstandings...while Guddu was surprised by Runjhun's tenacity he fought it with his own stubbornness to bring her down. Fighting her at each step and then finally pushing each other too far.
And as we were given and insight into Guddu's heart and his loyalty and the immensity of love...we realized that he was the only one who could love someone like Runjhun just as she could be the only one to tame his heart.
As we saw her being tortured to no end we wished that he would come and become her protection...and he did come back...
...and even then they clashed but fate tied them together and one of the most beautiful relationships were born. He protected her even without knowing and she cared for him because it came naturally to her.
I can go on and on...but I'll stop...
As today's story has deviated so far from that I'm no longer able to see the beauty that once was...but as I think of those moments and the love they have for each other and the long way we came I still find my heart moved even though what it's become sometimes threatens to tear it apart...
