i was reading a friend's blog http://thinkinglonerider.blogspot.com/2006/11/i-have-loved-three-women-till-now-and.html and it made me thinking.
A lot of ink has been exhausted in writing about a variety of subjects like life, death, happiness, and grief. However, the one topic that has remained a favorite with authors, playwrights, poets, and laypeople alike has been: love. While there are those who have been fortunate in finding the love of their life, there are others who are still searching for that someone special. Which ever category you fall into, the allure of the perfect love life fascinates each of us.
It is true that while we can choose those whom we talk to and whom we like, we cannot choose those whom who we love. One could fall in love many times during the course of a lifetime, but the first rush of love always holds a special place in our hearts. The novelty, like the first drops of dew on an untouched leaf, of the feeling makes it special and unforgettable. Those who have suffered heartbreaks know that it takes a lot of effort to pick up the shattered pieces. Love can be tricky. First love is hard to forget. I know. I had a painful time getting over it...but when i think of it..it was a wonderful time..the first time falling in love..unfortunately it didn't work out...
Barring a lucky few, love manages to trick and elude most of us. Whether you have been fortunate enough to find true love. Love is like dark chocolate. Although it always leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth, you will still be tempted to take a bite the next time around. When we talk about love, words fail us. It is not that we cannot express; it is just that we don't find the right words to convey our truest emotion.
We learn from our own experiences. Often, our experiences turn out to be the most enriching moments of our lives. Given a chance, some of us would love to share the lessons that we have learnt. Like Mignon McLaughlin said "No one has ever loved anyone the way everyone wants to be loved."
