Thoughts to Ponder : True love never goes away

Thoughts to Ponder : True love never goes away

Labels: Music / RBW Relationship Talk / Thought to Ponder

Right before the new year I spoke to my ex. The one I was in love with, the one that I thought was the one. The one I lived with for almost a year in college. It was weird at first, knowing that he's engaged. When I saw the number on my caller ID I couldn't believe it. Excited that he still thinks about me enough to call, happy knowing that all the craziness we went threw that we are still friends. After reminiscing and catching up for almost 2 hours I realized that I still love him and at times I even miss him. Made me realize that when you love someone, that feeling never goes away. No matter how long its been since you've spoken, no matter how love its been since you were together and how over the situation you are. No matter how much you know that you are not right for each other, LOVE NEVER GOES AWAY dammit.


“True love never dies for it is lust that fades away. Love bonds for a lifetime but lust just pushes away.”
-Alicia Barnhart


“Love won't be tampered with, love won't go away. Push it to one side and it creeps to the other.”
-Louise Erdrich


“Love is basically like leaches .... They suck until they can’t get enough of you. Until you find a catapillar that will turn into the butterfly that you have wished for all of your life. Then they just spread their wings and fly away.”
-Unknown

“Sometimes love walks away ... because staying would conflict with loving and being true to who we are.”
-Jan Denise


This whole situation made me realize that I want to be in love. I want to be loved. At this point in my life I want to be in a healthy relationship. I think I'm finally mature enough to handle all the work that its going to take. So now I just sit back and wait for one that is ready for the love I have to give. One that is ready for it too and wont toy with my heart like Semipro does. Even though lately he's been letting me in and I've really seen a different side of him, I have been playing it cool because I know its only a matter of time that he pulls away because he thinks we're getting too close. I want and need someone that is also ready for that Jones to come down without being afraid or intimidated by the feeling. It will be a challenge for me as well. Though I want it, I too am afraid of really loving someone. It has been so long since I've adored someone enough to let the words "I love you" slip from my lips, but I'm ready to tear down the wall I've built as well and let someone in. So I wait, both skeptical and optimistic that it will ever happen but this quote helps my optimism to outweigh my skepticism most days.

“Love has its own time, its own season, and its own reasons for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you.”
-Kent Nerburn
