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....

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.

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.

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?

hi there cat...this is marie...

i agree with you a 100% here:
" If spending time with a man, is ALWAYS meaningful, as it is with most women, then we have to 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."


some men ( i said some ) assume we can read their thoughts and actions clearly and that we understand very well where they are coming from...

most women, like us, just want to be very sure of the feelings involved if ever a relationship is being offered. Some men offer "special friendships" (read as without strings attached ), some have the option for something more permanent but doesnt really offer it on the onset...and some ( i think this is the kind of MEN most women prefer ) make it clear if they are also in search of serious and permanent relationships..and are willing to go that extra mile to find out if there is that "spark" as we call it.

lest i be misunderstood, it doesnt follow that if a man or woman is ready to commit, that the two of them will click right away. There is still the getting-to-know-the-REAL-you part...but at least,you both know that you are on the same page so to speak.

In my case, it was both the heart and the EGO that was hurt, and I think the same is true with "our beloved family members" as well...This makes the pain quite a bit more harder to deal with.

Once the EGO is treated, the heart follows. I thank God, when year 2007 ended, I had a better perspective of my lost love. I know, that it was not the love that I deserve. Acceptance of reality had been taking place,until this MINI-crisis beset our Group. I'm sure, with your presence and the support of others, we'll get over this one.

Any relationship built on physical intimacy alone as a reckoning factor does not last and never passes the test of continuity.Also relationship that come about with foundations of untruthfulness and lies never lasts and in additon to disappointments and frustrations, brings legitimate anger too.

Physical intimacy is very vital in any relationship. However, if a couple do not develop emotional attachment strong enough to support it, then "BONDING" will never take place.Hence, two people easily find themselves "DETACHED".

Jack, thank you so much for your words of wisdom..Most people find it too deep to comprehend, but it covers how a relationship can "thrive" successfully. Truth and Honesty, as well as commitment are very important in any relationship. And sometimes, the truth may hurt. However, eventually, it will set us "free".

Yes, there will be several "wrong people" who'll be a part of our lives, and we sure learn good lessons from them. That's the way we should look at it. And sometimes, we should be "thankful" that they became part of our lives...In the end, it was all for our BEST interest.

Frank Sinatra - Send In The Clowns Lyrics

(S.Sondheim)
[Recorded June 22, 1973, Hollywood]

[Spoken intro]
"This is a song about a couple of adult people who have spent, oh, quite a long time
together, till one day
one of 'em gets restless and decides to leave. Whether it's the man or woman who left is unimportant.
It's a breakup."

Isn't it rich? Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns

Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around and one who can't move
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns

Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair

Sure of my lines
Nobody's there

Don't you love a farce? My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want, sorry my dear
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here

Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns
Well, maybe next year

blogs after blogs women express their heartaches, pain and failed love relationships, a few men does...many just move on to their lives...in many occasions women always blame their men for their misfortunes in a relationship...i think women should talk more about the art of pleasing and educating their men to stay longer in a relationship...

    Quoting pinoylover1:
    blogs after blogs women express their heartaches, pain and failed love relationships, a few men does...many just move on to their lives...in many occasions women always blame their men for their misfortunes in a relationship...i think women should talk more about the art of pleasing and educating their men to stay longer in a relationship...
You definitely have a good point there PL..But, we women sometimes want to be pampered by men regardless of the age difference, such as reverse May-December love affair...It gets very tiring to "baby-sit and spoonfeed" some men, only because they refuse to grow...I repeat, SOME MEN...
