Being there

I used to wonder what could be the best thing we can do as an expression of love.

Is it by giving flowers?

Is it buying some beautiful dresses?

Is it by giving gifts?

Is it going out to fancy dining restaurants?

Is it by going to far away holidays?

Everything is materialistic and has value attached to it. Our expression of love through material lasts only to a point. Eventually they are just materials which cannot show the true worth of the love.

Then what else?. 

I realised, the best gift you can give to your loved one is

Being there! 

Being there emotionally

Being there physically

Basically your time with them. Now a days even your time is being monetised, but the time you spend with your loved ones is always invaluable.

All they want from us is spending time with them.

Being there with them

To talk 

To listen

To lean on the shoulder

To hold her

To share the laughter

To share their fears

To wipe away their tears

To make the meal

To walk 

To read

More than all these

To be just being themselves

Damn even to just be there even if doing all the nothings in the world.

If you give her the time,

She will give her heart and soul to you.

There is no greater feeling in this world than someone is there for them.

There is no worse feeling in this world than being alone even if someone is there for them.
