Love kills or is it love that is killed?

I am not single. I am just reserved for the right person. How difficult is that to understand? Whatever!!! Some people just can't seem to mind their own business. Buttheads!!! Anyways! Since I am done calling names to some "space unicorns", I should proceed to the topic of the day. Today I will introduce you to some real life protagonists of love stories. They have the stories somewhat like the well-known Romeo and Juliet. The only difference been that the protagonists never got married to each other or even consummated their love. Hence the name "Virgin Love". There are four such couples that had been part of famous tragic romances: 1. Heer and Ranjha (sometime between 1451 A.D. and 1526 A.D.) 2. Sohni and Mahiwal (18th Century) 3. Sahiba and Mirza (Time uncertain) 4. Sassi and Punnu (12th Century) These historical and popular tragic romances took place in Punjab state of India. There are still shrines, mausoleum, places present related to them that are spots of interests. No happy endings for any of these couples. Each one of them died or were killed. Adding a song that runs with the theme of the post: The song is from Heer's point of view. Rough translation for the song lyrics: Oh crow! You can eat my whole body if you want. Eat all my flesh. Please don't eat my eyes because I yearn to see my beloved. I want to go with my beloved. Reciting Ranjha's name over and over, I have myself become Ranjha. Ranjha in me and I am in Ranjha. There is no other thought left. I want to go with my beloved. Today people go to the Holy shrine of Mecca. I shall go to Takht Hajare (Birth place of Ranjha). Where there is my beloved, there lies my place of worship. You can open any books if you like. I want to go with my beloved. (Photo by Pixabay)
