Some people are happier than others.
Relationship
Crops-up sometimes in inexplicable manner,
Sometimes with transient feelings like,
Would this workout or would it not.
But such feelings about a fellow
Should not cause a nature of shame
To air, and sometimes
It takes gruesome period of time
For the other to get acquainted
with the other, what matter most
is the ‘friendship-relationship’,
This grows to an adult affair.
There is no formula or methodology
That works for all couples, all couples
Develop the formula they would
Want to trail their blissful relationship on.
Character helps a lot; this helps
Each other to value the fellow’s
human dignity.
‘Friendship’ in a relationship
goes a long way, than
When two see as ‘lovers’
Because ‘love-making’ is not love
But friendship in love affair
Is a yardstick to attain a happy height.
‘Friendship’ makes a relationship to glow
Because ‘your friend is who tells you
Whatever without a terse of word –
But with regards and with mutual love’
Whereas some couples wallow in incompetence:
They lack communication culture,
Do not take decisions together
But rather disagree on each other’s decision
Oblivious that before a relationship
could be consolidated
The two have to work assiduously
to attain their utopia happiness.
‘Relationship’ does not exist in any ‘world’
But it’s a ‘world’ brought into existence
By living two persons living in the world
By agreeing on mutual issues
And allowing each other’s decision for use
to build the future of the relationship.
While some couples are busy thinking
A way out to build their
Economic, religious & moral lives
Others are busy thinking like this:
Is s/he a graduate? Tall or thin?
Financially muscled?
Brilliant or intelligent?
And what have you!
But there is no how
All qualities in expectancy
Of one could be found in one.
Everyone has h/er natural errors:
Either character-wise or physical-wise,
But what matters most
Is recognizing the fact that
“Outside home there are still
Rules and Regulations”
In a relationship
A lot of things are amended:
Morally, spiritually & intellectually.
In a relationship
A lot of things are adjusted to
To suit the ‘new-world’,
Not that there won’t be misunderstanding
But ‘Love covereth all things’.
Blaming, faultfinding, name-calling
Has to be built on a positive attitude.
A chirpy voice
Makes anger to go on exile.
