When Love Fails...

Lying down in my bed, listening to songs; never did I imagine that I would start crying. No, it wasn't the song which made me cry. But, the emotions that I had associated the song with.

How many times has this happened that certain songs, certain places, certain books become the defining moments of a relationship? How many times have we in the excitement of love made the otherwise mundane stuff of life into things which can deeply affect our well being? Why is it that we associate things around us with the person we love? The song you first shared your dance and kiss. The restaurant where you had your first date. The book you gifted her on your first anniversary. Those times of the day when you would be on the phone talking endlessly with her?

Its all absolutely fine till things start going wrong. The very song which used to bring a smile will start making you cry or irritated depending upon who broke up with whom. But why? Why is it that the emotions which once used to be associated with change? Cant the emotions remain same irrespective of the fact whether the relationship has survived time? Or is it an attempt by the mind to move on? To disassociate from everything so that the person understands that the love has ended and accept it?

Can love ever end? If it does; was it really love or some other emotion which was mistook as love? No matter how hard we try... to hate, to loathe, to forget or run away. The memories, it will always come back to us. This is why we unintentionally associate love with the relatively unimportant stuff in life. For, love can never end even though the intensity of it might change. So, the next time we hear a song which was dedicated to the person we loved whether we choose to cry or smile on it depends upon on our understanding of love.

Nobody knows why certain things work and certain things don't. What we as humans can do is accept the realities of life and move forward. No matter what happens; one thing is sure, love is indeed the epitome of anything that is human. It might fail miserably... but never will it end.
