Love and Loyalty

Love

I was inside.

All by myself.

Too scared to venture out.

Whenever I went out alone, I got hurt.

I needed Loyalty.

 

Loyalty

I existed, but was rarely seen.

No one really cared about me.

No one believed in me.

I was not special.

There were many.

I needed Love.

 

The Bonding

We met, by chance.

Love came out seeing me.

Time passed, we became close.

Love started trusting me.

Love believed in me.

I assured Love that we would always be together.

 

 

From time immemorial,

Love and Loyalty walk hand in hand.

Loyalty found Love, Love found Loyalty.

One ceases to exist without the other.

If Loyalty walks away, Love lives alone.

 

In isolation.

In oblivion.

 

 

 

Abujh: The Un-Understanding

Who am I? I asked myself.

Do I really understand others? Do I realize what they go through or what they must be going through? Can I empathize with them? Can I feel their pain? Do I pretend to know? Can I know? Do I need to know? Do I need to understand either the understandable or the un-understandable?

No. I do not. I am Abujh – the Un-Understanding.
