It is so easy to write a love story. There need to be no story and that is the essence of any love story. There can be absolutely no theme and no context. In the following passage I have written few sentences. The truth is each sentence is a love story in its own way and all sentences together can coherently make another love story. Finally, a love story remains as a love story if the ending is tragic. If the love story is non-tragic, then it is no more a love story. The love story then becomes a marriage, a compromise and forgettable!

Black pants & white shirt, she took my breath away, yet it felt like I was breathing for the first time. Her hands on my wrist fit me better than my favorite watch. Hence, she always holds my hand! Our story began a year ago, she offered me a ride… and a year later I offered my heart. While offering my heart I said ‘If my lips cannot linger on yours, I would have them in my thoughts’.
I am shit scared of the sea, but here I am, down on my one knee at the beach, because she loved the waves touching her feet. We want on talking all night, built a huge library with the words we said, and never stepped out of it.
She walked down for three minutes on the road; it was the longest period we were apart. Hence, we made sure we would never be apart again! ‘I Love you’ she said with a ring on her finger, as I placed my hand on the screen. The long distance was never felt!
Our life’s wires crossed somewhere between morning office, cold coffee and warm discussions – entangled forever. Sometimes I feel – I am East & she is West, but it is true that opposites attract. We played many games on the computer. Her hands moved on the game controller swiftly and just like that I always lose my game & heart.
Finally, the day came! The sky was painted in black, the earth below was green, and on we lay holding hands in between, said to each other “Until death do us apart”.
