Does romantic love survive forever ?

In some shape or form.

or does it have its own death ?

I actually always thought it was the first one. That it does always survive. That it's always in there somewhere. Burning. Even if you're even not aware of it. I've always thought that a little flame survived. A glow at least. An ember, waiting to be re-ignited some long lost day.

But I've kind of realised that someone who used to love me, probably doesn't love me any more. And that's fine. I....I think that in some cases, that's for the best, and is completely understandable and logical. It's just not very....I mean, you think it lasts forever don't you. But...nothing last forever, and that includes love. Sadly.

It doesn't die. It might go dormant, but I think at the end all love is remembered.

That's going to look a weird post, lol.

I think that that's true though. Maybe that's my faith. I don't have faith in God, I have faith that the few people who loved me at some point, will briefly remember their love for me, at some future point, and it'll burn again for a few moments.

Not a very ambitious target in life, but one I can at least believe in.

Anyway...

Familiarise yourself with the reality of impermanence. Everything dies, and the only thing we can guarantee is change. That's not to say you should not get attached to loved ones. Savour those moments. Perhaps a romance will last a lifetime for the very fortunate, but it is still finite. Maybe that's what makes the human experience so intensely bittersweet.

It's a bit stoic, yes.

....I mean, you think it lasts forever don't you.

If ya believe this, I think you're in for a lifetime of sufferin'.

Don't most people learn about 'real life' in their school/college days?
I was genuinely surprised that one or two people on, ahem, other threads, still think that unattended flames burn on forever..
