juxtaposed realities

there was a HIM and a HER...

HE hated to smile even when he found so many reasons to
SHE had no reason yet always smiled
HE met people who really cared yet wondered what love is
SHE had noone yet knew all about it
HE was ambitious as hell but refused to dream
SHE was a dreamer and believed in them
HE knew no compromise
SHE had compromised all her life
HE thought sacrifice was 'futile'
SHE believed sacrifice was 'love'
HE had all the words but nothing to say
SHE had so much to say and yet could not speak all she wanted
HE could never make a decision without the fear of losing
SHE had never won yet kept taking decisions all her life
HE was building for himself a strong future
SHE built castles in the air
HE saw life with a practical approach
SHE never wanted to take off her rose coloured glasses

there was a HIM and a HER.......
each with a different reality...each with something to teach the other...each with something to learn....

there was a HIM and a HER....
and when they met, life was beautiful!!

    I was wondering if in the end .. both could take half-n-half from each other .. and that ways both could be much happier too ..

    or prolly when they got together ..they kinda did that .. thats how life was beautiful.

    but ME sounds quite like Me..
    n the SHE .. seems like a nice gal ;)

    @ mayz
    dunno if they are perfect...but they definitely have a lot to learn from each others :)
    their imperfections balance out well together i guess...

    @ gautam
    thankyou :)

    @ veens
    how?? :p

    @ princess
    well to start with, i had no intention of writing a 'love story'...it was just about two juxtaposed realities and how a lil bit of each can make life beautiful and how each can learn a lil from the other :)

    lol!! that makes me wonder if you would still consider it a love story had i written about two guys :p

    damn! before u get imagining, its best that we keep it the way u see it right now---a love story ;)

    @ anuj
    yeah thats how it was supposed to go...we all have a little to learn from everyone
    we all live in different realities and accordingly, we set the rules...sometimes it'd be much more fun if we exchanged some rules, share someone's reality and watch where it takes us :)
    hmm if u could relate to the 'HE', i wish u all the best infinding that nice girl 'SHE' whom u can share your reality with :)

    @ lena
    life is only as complicated as we want it to be....think about it! :)

    @ ash89
    thanks for appreciating dear :)

    @ rambler
    both are good in their own way...u just cannot say who is better :)

    @ macademia the nut
    that says a lot dear...if only...

    *smiles*

    @ aditi
    happy is the one who has the perfect balance...
    most of us have a lil too much of only one :)

    @ keshi
    sometimes chaos is just the beginning of perfection :)

    @ urv
    thanks :)

    @ raaji
    well sometimes they do....u never know!

    @ entertainer
    well said...true love is not about loving the perfect person...its about loving the imperfect person perfectly! :)
    each of us have our imperfections....
    and IMO the one who loves u truly is the one who knows everything about u and still loves you :)

if you think differently, go right ahead & express yourself..you might help me grow up in the process and i would be thankful.
if you think alike, you can ofcourse talk too..you might help me feel less alone in the crowd and i would be grateful.
Whatever you might think, i would love to know your reaction!!!
