about love
Memories of what could have been, what should have
been are all that is left when one has walked the last mile of love. Having
fought through the heartaches and cheering at the signs of time that love has
conquered and won a sigh of relief unveils itself over one's face. Then within
an instant what should have been, what could have been is suddenly taken away.
How does one deal with a love that was so right and yet circumstances beyond
one's control seems to foster that everything will eventually go wrong? This is
one of several stories associated with love and lost.
When individuals consciously choose to love with
all of their being, there are no sacrifices too great that one is unwilling to
bear. One may give up time, family, work, friends, and oneself to ensure that
the love one has lasts forever. Yet, this just may not be enough to save love
as the past in either person's life may impede the present and future progress
that should and could be made. The question on everyone's mind seemed to be
whether or not they would ever find a love that lasted forever or would this be
their final walk on finding love.
I wish I had the answers as I honestly know the
pain felt when life's unexpected turns takes away one's dreams of being loved
by that special person. As individuals, we find ourselves re-evaluating ways to
save love, to hold on to love. It just seems like things continue to worsen
rather than become better. It seems like the harder one loves, the harder one
fights. Yet all the fighting seems to be for nothing since in the end love
comes up short in winning the battle. Regardless if one views the glass half
empty or half full, what I have learned in the lives of others is that this is
not the end of love but the beginning of learning to love.
True love goes through peaks and valleys. True love
will be tested with love's unexpected twists and turns. This is what love is.
However, the question has less to do with the fight of love or questioning if
love is real and instead has more to do with standing firm when love seems to
be taken away.
Standing firm through the storms of life may help
to heal the broken heart an individual may experience when love is far away--
temporarily or permanently. The fact still remains that no one has the power to
dictate if this will be one's last walk of love except oneself. The individual
holds the key as to whether or not she/he will continue on the path of finding
love or giving up on love. People may only offer their opinions or suggestions
but in the end the final decision is up to the individual going through the
experience. So what will YOU choose-continue moving towards the love YOU
deserve or walking YOUR last mile of love? It is my hope that as I walk this
journey alongside YOU that your journey to finding the love YOU deserve will
find its way to YOU and it will last forever.
