Love.....Never Fades....

Genuine love is profound—it does not come and go every now and then; it is something that is likely to last over time.
When we are sad, lonely or just feeling like we have lost ourselves, it is natural to look for an alternative situation. And one of the first places to do so is our past, and especially in our relationships with those people with whom we were in love.
Yearning for our previous friend is a type of nostalgia for circumstances that no longer exist. It is usually marked by an idealization of the past and an element of virtual reliving of the past. Nostalgia is a bittersweet longing, combining the pleasurable feeling of the past with the pain of the empty or dull present.
When we find ourselves in circumstances similar to those that prevailed with an earlier relationship, we slip more readily into a nostalgic romantic mood. Our memory is activated by any reoccurrence of circumstances that prevailed in the original experience. Listening to old love songs and watching romantic movies can provoke a strong yearning for the past lovers with whom we shared these songs or movies (or the content of them).
The wish to be back with the the person whom you love is not activated merely because our current situation is desperate, but also by the memory of passionate love. Sometimes loneliness makes the loudest noise; at other times, profound love provides louder and deeper music. It is quite natural to yearn for a past relationship, particularly if the original relationship was reciprocal and fulfilling.
When a relationship dies, do we ever really give up the ghost, or are we forever haunted by the spirits of past relationships......
The lure of a possible romantic reunion is great.....
To sum up, yearning for past relationship is natural, and it may even lead to a successful reunion if they parted ..on a happy note......
So true... I believe yearning is also because we understand the value of the little joys in the moments we've left behind.. I love music from my school college days because it brings with it the memories of the people associated.. love, friends, siblings, parents, kids.. because the moment lost is lived in thoughts again.. that's the power of memories..

ReplyDeleteRelationship is about trust , values a,r caring each other without reciprocating or expectations. ... These profound moment becomes lifelong journey that makes you feel better and precious moments you always like to live with...
ReplyDeleteNice thoughts sir.
ReplyDeleteWhen I look into my past, it makes me happy that I parted ways amicably with most of my love interests, except for one. The power of internet is such that we can check up on the current status of our exes and their snaps etc through social media. It makes me realize we r all growing older gracefully and happily. Everything that has happened was destined and was what was best for all of us! As for a reunion with past loves, I think Parineeti Chopra's song Maana ke hum yaar nahi ...it sums it all up....please listen to her song.
Sir
