Trying to stop loving someone is almost the only thing that can’t be done. Doing so would require that the piece of your heart given away by a person stricken with love for another, to be returned to its previous owner, it would require that memories both good and bad be erased from a person’s brain, and for feelings that were supposed to be for a lifetime to disappear with no remnants anywhere.
People do get past their pasts, and in fact we have to in order to get to the future in the best fashion, but somehow an old flame of love is something that can diminish greatly in a person’s heart, but can never fully disappear. Be careful with whom you love and how you love because you never stop loving someone, you either never did, or you always will.
I am having a very hard time trying to get my ex to see that I just want to be her friend and I never was mad at her. She does not understand, and perhaps she never did love me, but I doubt that. I saw it in her eyes and felt it in her embrace. Love does not just disappear because we tell it to. The memories of past good times are proof that a friendship, at least, should be possible.
I wrote a post on Unconditional Love on my Blog that is very similar to this one. I would love to get your comments on it.
