Sitting at 2 AM and wondering what to write about. The song playing is "Pachchai nirame from Alaipayuthe.
Yes, its true I think. Love has colours. Vivid and alive, dull and dead. It has them all. When you start the relationship everything is bright and "rosy" as people call it - denoting pink, as used in the term "the pink of health". This is the time when your partner says you have bad breath and you laugh about it for hours together - whats so funny about a bad breadth you wonder later!
This is the period when both individuals are neck deep in trying to impress their partner either by being what the other expects to be or by going out of the way to accept the partner no matter how much he/she is against what you stand for!
Then the green - when they fall ill with envy seeing you living your life the way you do. Yes, its true - the grass is always greener on the other side - GREENER on the other side, rings a bell? This is the time when one sees their partner and gets angry/jealous/possessive etc. The initial rosy picture wears off and the values that their partner truly stands for starts showing. This is the time when the clouds in the minds of the partners start developing.
Follows the ominous grey and dark hues. "What? She is that kind of a person?" Shock and gloom sets in. This is a phase of confusion and sadness. When the stark realization sets in; that your partner is not prince/princes charming, but another human being with all the flaws in the world including drinking binges, old love stories, snoring habits and what not.
For many this is where is ends. They decide that their partner is a dark cloud waiting to douse ones own happiness in melancholy rains.
And then there are those who wait - as Mr Milton so famously said, patiently, who reap the benefits.
Its a rainbow. Love is a multi-coloured rainbow, made of multiple hues and colours, but as a whole they are a wonder, a miracle that exists in the brightness of the sun and the glumness of the rains simultaneously.
When in the dark sad phase of your life, wait for the rainbow to show up. If it does not, move to a more sunny place.
