The Truths of Love

Love. That one thing every woman longs for. Whether it is a 4 year old girl listening to her father tell stories of knights in shining armor coming to the rescue of a princess in a tower with ironically similar characteristics to the mesmerized little girl, or a middle aged woman who sits at home watching soap operas and wondering if she will ever find that perfect marriage after her last 3 attempts. We are brought up on the idea that we will be swept off our feet by prince charming and carried away to his castle, but at the same time we are told the contradicting statement that those such love stories only exist in our wildest imagination. The only real life account of such a story is that of the admired Princess Diana. But as in most real life stories, it came to a tragic end. In the world of love there are many scenarios. One, the one we all hope for, arly in life we find the person we want to be with and stay together until the very end of out lives. Second, we love someone, but over time the love we had slowly begins to die away. These are onely two of the many possible outcomes. A very famous writer once wrote, "It is better to have loved then lost than to have loved at all." I believe there two sides to this statement. There are those who love and lose and agree with this statement because they couldn't have gone through life without knowing the feeling of someone always caring and think about you every moment. But there are those less lucky who love and lose and live everyday wondering what went wrong and what they could've done to stop their fairy tale from ending. But often, these women aren't the cause of the closing of the story book. It can be the fault of the man, or that of the surrounding families. I'm which the man and woman love each other dearly but the families of the two cannot allow the two to be together, so the two lovers drift from each others arms into a dark world of loneliness and dispair. This type of love isn't a rare event. In fact, one of the most famous writers in history, William Shakespeare, wrote his famous play Romeo and Juliet about such a love affair. But then this love is seen many times in our world. The two broken halves of a seemingly perfect match can be seen, but their story not known. They sit alone watching the cute short lasting couples walk by while the memories play through their minds, the good moments, followed by the bad. The sad part of it, sometimes, only one half is hurt; usually it being the woman. The man, on the other hand, can walk away and be with the next pretty girl he sees. He either the broken woman either crushed by letting her know he no longer loves her, or kills her emotionally overtime while she wonders if he still loves her or if they still have a chance. And no matter how much she denies it, she will always love him with the passion she had for him since day one. And that, is only rhe begining of the truths of love.
