love n unlove..to love n be loved..

feeling quite sad.. many ppl around me seems to be having problems with relationships.. though im not directly involved, i dunno why i can't help feeling very disappointed in "love'..

ppl know me to be skeptical and quite a cynic when it comes to "love"... all the experiences, mine and the ones i know.. dun give much hope to 'love'...
why is it so hard to fall in love for some.. and so hard to stay in love for some.. n so hard to forget the love for others...
is it because we have too many choices now.. ? is it because we always expect the best? is it because we always rather choose the easier way out? because of that... will we end up losing the ones we truly love? the ones that we believe no one else will replace?

stories from friends who r now happily attached...yet are never as happy as they once were with their past partners... n others whom like me can never seem to meet someone who can make us feel as happy as we once did...
everyone wonders if they will meet a better one.. wonders if they will end up alone @ 70... wonders if the 'one' has passed them by..

u know i always thought being attached was one of the best things... then i thought being single was the best..
then i realised being attached to the wrong one is one of the worst things.. until i finally know that being with someone i love is really the best thing..

i truly admire and envy my parents' relationship.. acceptance for each other.. efforts in making the marriage work ....even after all these years.... still going out for their '2ppl world' time..travelling.. sharing happy n unhappy moments together...n supporting each other tru all the good n bad times.. it's been 26 years and more... no wonder they say getting married is just the start of a whole different life...
to be the one you love is a blessing..

to all suffering frm a heartache.. u aint alone.. time will heal.. if it's meant to be..it will be..
to all in love.. treasure them..

with metta..
