Reason to cry..

Some find love and keep love
others find love and lose it
some long for what was once
while scores walk by unaware and untouched...

Love is not finders keepers
Love finds you, you don't
Some are lucky that it stays
Some are unlucky that it flees
But nobody remains untouched
By Aphrodite's influence.

What a lovely thought..
"love finds you, you dont..'
I am not so sure that 'nobody remains untouched'..
Thx

nobody remains untouched...nobody.

thats the thing about love.

however shortlived, however fatalistic, however painful...love has a strange way of finding its followers...also its detractors.

we all sit and either deny its existence or rationalise it for the rest of our lives but what we cant do anything about is the surge of emotion within.

its real.

Hi anon.. Thanks for sharing that.. Thats why the ones that lose it keep looking ... I guess.

"Nobody remains untouched" I thought about it and tried to find a single person whom I have met who has never seen love in one form or the other and I failed!

Actually, when I wrote this, I did think of a few people that have been quite untouched.. some by choice and some by chance..

Not by any kind of love! What do you define love as or what kind of love are you talking about?

Musings.. said...

I am talking about romantic love..

you made me realise, its better to have not been left untouched, even if you do never get what you are longing for. thanks :)

I was thinking of any kind of love. However, I have to say about romantic love, somehow at some point in a person's life but they choose not to be touched by it, as their priorities are different. But yet I would say, love finds you and if it stays with you then I guess love was able to dodge everything else in that person's life.

Pilgrim.. Yes, its not an emotion of convenience.. but it does catch you unawares..

Exactly! So true

As cynical as I may get, its nice that they passed by unaware. Why see tender love wasted on them? That would be far more tragic...

Eroteme.. Is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Have you read Prophet by Khalil Gibran, the chapter on love is truly timeless and exceptional.
