Love Fickles: Here Today, Gone Tomorrrow

Love Fickles: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

I am so sad these past couple of days. I dunno how to express it, but I just witnessed
another " intense and open to public love" that fickled and made a 360 degrees U-turn.
I am still in disbelief not because things were not possible, but because things were
unexpected and so sudden. At my age right now, I still would love to have stories similar
to fairy tales with happy endings, but I guess, times, indeed, have dramatically changed.
Even soap operas have different and controversial twists, we cannot anticipate the plot
and the climax of the stories because nowadays, they're way different than the familiar
and conventional ones.

Looking back (not that I wanted to) to last year, 2007.I got "emotionally involved"
with someone who "spoiled" me with nightly calls and attention, precious time, and even met
with me in person, only after a little over a year of that very "unique closeness" and
special friendship, and after I told him that "there is no future" for the two of us, the
way things were with us,... things drastically changed. In less than a month, he easily
found someone to take my place. I have difficulty understanding how and why is it
that some people move on so easily, and waste no time "forgetting" what seemed
to be an "endless love" with their previous significant others? (not necessarily referring to my experience) Is it possible for some
people to be "deeply in love" for a long time, and then, all of a sudden, once the
opportunity (others call it a chance) to be with another person, just like bubbles,
that love will burst and fly out of the window instantly? Or is it okay to be in love
with several people at the same time? And worse, it's also okay to One and All?

I'm not saying that people should not move on/get on with their lives, but....The way
I see it, when feelings are so intense and publicly displayed, no matter who moved
on first (between the couples involved) I still find it "painful" to the witnesses (if not
to the ones concerned) that again, there is another open to public announcement
of new loves in the offing, thereby making the previous one a beautiful history to
reminisce.Is it really a small world? Too small for once a couple,>> a love triangle>> to be now
an even fair and square? Does love have to be a Merry-Go-Round thingie?

I know that I am not alone in this mixed feelings of happiness and sadness for all
the people involved, and I do hope that this kind of "uncomfortable" atmosphere is
going to be just TEMPORARY...All is well that ends well. I wish everyone the BEST!

The only thing CONSTANT in this world is CHANGE.

And Yes, Love Fickles: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow..(sigh!)

HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW

I came to you in dark despair

I needed someone who would care.

You held me close against your heart

I felt a warmth right from the start.

Then one day He took you away
Why did it happen, who can say?

Now all that there is left for me

Is just a precious memory.



That’s life, that’s life

You take the joy, you take the sorrow.

That’s life, that’s life
You’re here today and gone tomorrow.



My life has crumbled since you’ve gone

But somehow I must carry on.

The pain I feel I can’t describe.

I can’t forget you, though I’ve tried.

Each night I say a little prayer
That when He takes me you’ll be there.

Together once again we’ll be

I’ll live again my memory.



That’s life, that’s life

You take the joy, you take the sorrow.

That’s life, that’s life

You’re here today and gone tomorrow.



That’s life, that’s life

You take the joy, you take the sorrow.

That’s life, that’s life

You’re here today and gone tomorrow.

Well, yeah, it's true that LOVE should remain as is...It takes a human being to "fickle" and let that LOVE die or wither...But some LOVE just stay very loyal till the end..You think, there are still those kind of love out there?

hi DEE... i think some will definitely say, MEN are from Mars, WOMEN are from Venus..

not that the line makes the MEN bad..maybe it is just how we are made up so differently, emotionally that is.

some will say, the easiest way to heal or forget about a lost love is by meeting someone new..some will opt to give the heart some time to rest and heal. for some its a "piece of cake", to others, the pain feels like "heavy as a ton"...

however way we try to go about it, one thing that we really need to be sure of is...if we really have put a closure to the past, as we go and try to venture into the present.

life goes on Dee....

[bHappy New Year Shine!...I know that you still feel the "hurt" and pain of losing someone very dear to you..To some people, as soon as they meet someone new, past becomes history so quickly...But most women still have that "special concern" for that significant person even if they're already married someone else. I guess, some men feel the same way too...

Hello there Marie!...And thank you for sharing your sensible thoughts with us here...I know that a lot of us can relate to this blog..Specially that most of us here at some point have felt love, loss, pains, betrayal, rejection (both ways) and to some maybe lucky to have reconciliation.

Yes, Marie..Life goes on, indeed...Even if we already have a good closure of the past...Revisiting it sometimes, is just spontaneous. For they say, without the past, we wouldn't have the present, and at times, we have to be thankful that the past failed, because it only gave way to a better love and most of all, a better life.

And yeah, it took me so long to remember this lovely song by RAY CONNIF AND THE SINGERS. I was still very young when this was played famously way back in the late 70's I think.

chinatree <<< "Men only know how men are. They have to be taught how to relate to a woman. Men have different codes, different signals, different attitudes toward love, relationships & commitment, and different meanings attached."

And I can easily relate to that CAT, believe you me. Different codes, different signals, so confusing at times, depending on their moods. I should know, I am still experiencing it. But we are both mature to take things with a grain of salt.

chinatree<<<Even if they're decent guys and don't want to hurt us on purpose, they won't make us fill out a questionnaire about what we REALLY mean by hanging around with them, or just plainly being friendly or even tolerant of their behavior. They just assume it's MEANINGLESS"

And no woman would ever want to hang around with indecent man. I can guarantee you, that it is more painful to deal with any love that "fickled" specially when it is coming from a decent guy.Sometimes, our friendliness and being tolerant of their behaviors make them do things that actually hurt. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?

Cat, over my dead body will I make an impression to any man nor to anyone that LOVE IS JUST FOR FUN, and I don't want to see my man expecting me to be that way.

chinatree<<<"If spending time with a man, is ALWAYS meaningful, as it is with most women, then we have to make make sure that we have a clear understanding of how far the relationship can go, where to draw a line and if a commitment is ever possible BEFORE going to a deeper level of feeling."

And I'm sure, my other sweet friend ImAllHeartNSoul and I will forever support this idea of yours.COMMITMENT is the magic word...COMmitment for life...

I thank you kindly for gracing my blog CAT, and for sharing your meaningful and wonderful insights regarding LOVE that is Here Today, Gone Tomorrow. My appreciation.

I heard a different way how to deal with it, similar to what Marie said: "para daw etong nag alaga ka ng pet tapos nawala sa iyo, mag alaga ka uli ng another pet, at ung atensyon mo , mabuhos dito at hindi na dun sa dati"

I can feel your emotions sis., I was once "in there", I`m just lucky that I found a better guy right now, we`re just taking it slowly but surely. I`m sure the best will still come your way, you`ll ever know what this year will bring you

thanks for sharing sis, i love reading your blogs.
