ive come to the conclusion i dont have a long enough attention span to do love :(
You have the Cliff Richards syndrome thin….. you have a list or requirements no woman will ever meet. It may not be a physical list or even one you are aware of …. but its there just the same. Maybe you need to ask yourself the question… what would make you happy?.. only you can answer that.
Here endeth the sermon :D

I have spoke to quite a few elderly women that had lost their loved ones in WWII…….. who never married……….I wonder if there are women like them today that have lost their loved ones in the Falklands or the Gulf War that are exactly the same and wont marry?
Sad thought Tinks :(
Sad perhaps but wow! To have known that love . . . . .
yes what becomes of the broken hearted :D

And how many other hearts are broken as a result? :( :( :(
Never mind Cliff Richard … just looked up the wonderful lyrics mentioned in another post about love…..ahhhhh
here goes …
Love is a many-splendoured thing,
It’s the April rose that only grows in the early spring,
Love is nature’s way of giving a reason to be living,
The golden crown that makes a man a king.
Once on a high and windy hill,
In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still,
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing,
Yes, true love’s a many-splendoured thing.:-({|= :lol:

Her love must have been so intense its as if she would not allow the healing process to take place. Clinging to the pain, afraid to let it go as though that would signal the end of her love for that person, the end… so final.
But a broken Heart does heal.. she just didnt allow it to. So sad :(
But what would healing look like?
Maybe it’s better to be convinced that you actually met and knew the one person that will forever light up your sky than to allow the wound of their passing to close, scar and eventually fade to ‘normal’.
Even without that, I think sometimes people are too quick to pair up, convinced that they’d be happier with someone (almost anyone it seems) when they don’t know how to be happy with themselves, therefore they don’t actually know what they would have to offer their ‘other’ should that person materialise.
Why should we assume that because someone doesn’t marry again it means they haven’t healed?
If you are fortunate enough to meet “the one” who makes your heart sing, that fills you with joy, that makes you light up just by their very existence in your world; “the one” where that feeling isn’t just at the beginning of the relationship but throughout, every minute of every day, where you can’t wait to see them again even when they’ve only just left, where you feel a connection even when they’re not there…you may heal, you may move on with your life and have a very full life, but you may know that you will probably have that kind of love again and therefore choose to not marry again. Is it sad that you don’t marry/remarry? Or joyous that you were blessed to feel a love that many never experience?
I love the sentiment of this post Eve. I’m such a softie at heart. It sounds so like the Miss Havershams of the day. A broken heart that was impossible to mend.
Regarding love and what it means to be in love … I don’t think you have much choice in the matter ..you fall in love …it happens and its wonderful.. Unfortunately sometimes it doesn’t last forever something occurs along the way which is very very sad ! But hopefully you recover enough to live a good life. :)
