Under The Tree

I am sitting under a big tree and hoping for answers. Hoping that an apple will fall on me just like it did on Einstein’s and rather than discovering gravity , I will discover answers of my life.

You know, I have never heard a I love you in my life. Never a soul has said I love you to my face. It’s sad. It makes me sad .

Never had a relationship with anyone that reached that stage. It started with infatuation stayed till likeness and never reached love ( atleast from their side ) . I love my parents and they love me back too but we don’t say it . It is awkward for them and it is awkward for me too.For friends, we write in texts when emotional but never say it on face .

So yes I have never heard a "I love you" in my life. Maybe I will never hear it too. I want these answers not from the apple falling but the leaves falling while I sit in the shade of this tree in the season of autumn. I saw one of the leaf and picked it up. Was it so easy for you to let this part of you go ? Let go of the leaf , which grew on you , which you nurtured and then fall off !
