Over the past few months, I have written a lot about my feelings and thoughts towards romance and (dare I say it) 'love'. Yet I find myself constantly reviewing said thoughts, especially when I happen to watch, hear or see something that really touches me - like the end scene from 'The way we were'. It gets me every time without fail. Much like the end scene from 'My best friends wedding'. These heartbreaking (and sometimes funny) stories make me think that perhaps 'falling in love' and all those flowery concepts are not made for everyone. I'm not saying that I believe what I watch in movies or read in books, but I know that realistically, such things have happened (without the drama of movie scripts of course).
I have known circumstances where both individuals involved in a romantic relationship have failed to end up together despite their deep affections towards one another - due to other complications. Such people have always told me that they have never come across another person who they share the same type of deep connection with as they did with the one they had to leave. I've seen said people in other relationships and I've seen them marry others too, but they seem so different, almost like they can not bring back those feelings for another person at such an intense level as they once did with somebody else. I see how different these people are now - in how they love more than anything else. I can't describe the sadness and uncertainty I feel when I witness such things, as it almost makes me more sceptical than I already am.
I guess in everything that we do there's an element of risk attached to it. Although I am unsure as to how I feel about taking risks when it comes to two people connecting.
Here's a heartbreaking song I would otherwise not link.
