There's Only Us; There's Only This

"Don't fall in love; stand in love, so that you can walk away when it's over."

I read that in a friend's friend's blog. Some commented that it's "so true," and some said that if it's love, "then it wouldn't be over."

But love's like that. You mean different things to different people at different times.

Even a couple may find that their meaning to each other changes as they grow along side of each other. Sometimes, some couples can no longer relate to each other with that change, while some can and are willing to make that change part of their relationship.

But when two people cannot make that change work out for them and the relationship ends, it doesn't mean that they didn't share love at one point or another. Conversely, just because two people love each other doesn't mean they must or will love each other forever.

When a relationship is over, it doesn't mean the two involved have to walk away and stop loving and caring about each other. A relationship can end, but two people can still love each other. If they don't love each other anymore, they can still care about each other.

Though related, relationships and love are different things. Don't confuse the two.

Of course, ideally and romantically speaking, having love and a relationship based upon it forever is more reassuring and seems to be less complicated, but no one knows how long forever is, is there?

So how about just work on loving each other ...

... TODAY?
