The title “Mera jaisa tu” is a line from one of the songs i have been listening to a lot these daysย .. And it translates to : “you are just like me”. And that made me wondering ..
They say opposites attract ! But is it not the similarities that bring two people close ??
what do you have to say about it ??
And below are the lines I wrote last night listening to the same song :
starting from the differences we have,
tracing the journey backwards
through the different views
you and me showed each other
from eyes of heart ,
and voices of soul;
i reach again the same place
where it all began,
from one word to another line,
from one silly comment
to hours of non sense talks,
to smiles , tears , pain and loss,
back to here, where I stand today,
alone yet loved, sad yet strong !
Here is the song if you want to hear :

<3 Nice.. Well written!!!! difference brings ppl closer, but similarities makes ppl stronger ๐
well said !! ๐

sad yet strong…. ๐ ๐ we all should be that ๐
Similarities initiate closeness… differences bring variety and ignite curuosity to know one another better…
is that not the best thing Alone BUT STRONG and LOVED .. I would not mind being at the spot anyday anytime to be strong and loved …

beautiful~~~ ๐
sadly beautiful yet strong. Very good writing!
life is something in between , lovely entry.
Happy Rally.
I can feel the beauty and pain as I read the lines. The mixture of the two can make us strong. You are loved, yes!
Similarities could make two people close; differences could make two people open ๐
I wonder if ‘oppsites attract’ or whether or not the other person complements some part of us so we feel complete.
I like that ending. A lot lot.. I agree with Jaye on the comment too ๐
both are possible. however, it depends on whether you’re the adventurous kind or not. having said that, i think opposites provide more spice to a relationship.
I love this and I can see why that phrase caught your attention, it inspires me as well!
I think opposite people still have things in common? Haha I’m not sure, I never thought about it. I enjoyed reading this.
you learn the most from those who are much different than who you are or what you’re use to. Nice!
“Alone, yet loved! The song is lovely, thanks for sharing! I think it’s going to be the song of my day, dreamy, melodic … I really like it!

To be with someone too much like yourself would be maddening. The same faults and problems and no one could keep the balance. Too much sameness is often called … boring. To have differences and work through them is growth. To have differences and to respect the other person’s point of view without trying to change him/her allows the relationship to grow and bloom.
Excellent poem. Made me think a bit.
I wanted it to read ” you and I showed” rather than “you and me showed” because I’m a grammar freak – but I loved the poem, and it certainly captures the relationship in an evocative fashion!
This poem is so ‘sad and strong’ ! =) Very beautifully put. x
lovely post….. i like that question: They say opposites attract ! But is it not the similarities that bring two people close ??
It’s so me post…. ๐ Cheers
