    This has been on my mind for a while now (a whole day)

    Does love die?

    A friend recently broke up with his lovely girlfriend who he was completely in love with, they were mad about each other.. but then BAM, no more love.

    And yesterday a couple who have been in love for 4 years broke up. How can something that has lasted so long just stop? After 4 years surely there would be so much there?

    I think it scares me, I'm rather new to this love thing. And the thought of being with someone for so long, and then it crashing, is.. well.. poo.

    Where does the love go?

    Anybody wizened know?

    I don't think Love "dies" I feel it is too strong for that.
    It is I feel, like a tidal flow
    An emotion which flows dependent on the moment in time
    Rising high and sweeping low
    It can raise spirits or take us to the depths of despair

    "Money Cant buy it" ~ "It takes Two"
    Though it may be that "All you need is Love"
    Learning to Love 'Yourself' is "The Greatest Love of all"

    Whilst it is there it is something that we should all...
    =>"Enjoy"

    True love never dies. If two people are truely in love with eachother then it will never fizzle out. Sometimes people may think they are in love but arent, leading to the breakups, fallings out, etc... Damn. Can't really get my thoughts down in writing, long night last night :)

    I think true love can die. If certain things happen in a relationship. I had found my true love but things happen and the way you feel for that person changes but I don't know if you totally loose your feeling for them. But I do no that sometime feeling for someone changes. Things just happens.

    In time some people just drift a part. They just don't seem compatable anymore. But the love that you once felt never dies. My first true love was over half my life time ago and I still love the hell out of her in my own way.

    Peace

    But if you still feel love for her, how can you really move on?
    Oh this love business.. I'm baffled!
    I agree (and like) the tidal idea..
    I'm guessing love is what you make it?

    I'm sure the people you are talking about who were so crazy about eachother and were seemingly perfect matches had many issues you never even considered they might have.

    love can not die. love is quite simple.. does a mother stop loving her child? rarely. romantic love, however, is fundamentally flawed. romance sets unrealistic expectations, especially with all the input we are given through media and such. romance is, in fact, synonymous with for example fiction, falsehood and fable.

    if your love for someone does not rely on them loving you back, if you accept and appreciate your lover, with all their flaws, and have no preconceived notions of how a relationship is supposed to be, and are able to simply enjoy your significant other for who they are, then I think your love can last as long as your life.

    love doesn't die.. we just choose not to let it live sometimes, and sometimes for good reasons.

    I think that alot of people also panic when they are having "down time" so to speak. Relationships go in waves, you wont always be absolutly crazy about one another. Your two different people and your bound to have disagreements.
