Just EIGHT lines, and it highlights the significance of the implications of LOVE. Each of the lines bring an entirely different meaning, with a different story attached altogether, but what attracted me most is the second line.
Emotional downfall is the the hardest fall one can take. As I write this, I’m thinking of the thousands and millions of people out there, tormented by a LOVE they once knew, a LOVE that didn’t work out the way they had hoped for. All the sweetness in the memories turn stone-cold bitter, and they are left with nothing but sorrowful memories to last them a very long time.
My question is, if LOVE does hurt so bad, then why do people keep searching for it?? Why is it a form of addiction, a necessity??? Why does its existence preceed us??? Well, that is because it is simply infectious, and there are of course, the ample good sides of it. But that, is another story.
Allow me to tale a blog of a dear friend, a blog that stories some of the bitterness he had to endure after years of loving that one perfect girl. Perhaps, breaking up with her was a mistake, but it was to late for him to do anything now, just like some of us. Then, at times when memories come rushing back, regret overpowers, and one is left to rot and die in pain. Figuratively.
Years of happy memories, and then it comes to an end. Then what happens next??? Take a few breaths, let it go, and move on?? If it was only THAT easy. Reality check, it isn’t. Even a few months of a relationship can hurt so bad, what more years??? Recall the movie, Moulin Rouge??? A LOVE found, cherished, overwhelmed with tedious challenges of the Duke and his obsession on the same beautiful lady, Satine, eventually LOVE prevails, but the Satine dies in the end, and the writer, Christian is left to rot in bitterness in the empty world he lived in then adt her demise??? What’s the worth in that??? Should Christian be considered lucky, that he has found LOVE, although it didn’t last, or should he be considered unlucky, to have the person he LOVE die in his arms, and have those short but wonderful memories to cherish??? Is it really, wonderful, really, at that point??? If it is, why is he filled with gushes of tears???
It is once told that “It is better to have known how to LOVE, and be loved in return, rather than to not LOVE at all.” I guess some speak of the contrary. If LOVE had to feel so bad, some would rather live in emptiness. But then again, the grass is greener on the other side, eh? For some of us, the pain gradually goes away. We become stronger and move on. But for another some, the pain is just kept in one corner, and it comes back now and then to haunt. And it hurts everytime. At one time, no one ever really moves on, truly.
That’s the thing about us humans. We fall so easily, and make some very risky decisions, thinking that at the beginning, it is the right choice, and then the substance of that choice is further strengthened by the ample sweet memories created, but not thinking for the worst, should the relationship end badly.
And when things go bad, it takes longer than FOREVER to recover. Well, at least for some of the few billions of us.
But hey, this is just LOVE from ONE perspective.
