Although we know that there is nothing eternal in life, let alone when we talk about feelings, the truth is that something as strong as love must seem eternal, at least as long as it exists.
Love must have a future. In other words, it is necessary to clearly perceive the existence of something that holds the hope of what remains to be lived, that is, a flash in the complicity of two hearts that are love each other.
- It’s hard to deal with these terms in a world that quickly erases smiles.
- But the truth is that if the stars shine it’s just because we stop to admire them.
- Because if we didn’t do that.
- They wouldn’t even do it.
- Exists for us The same goes for love.
- You have to observe it to know it.
The sun can cover forever; The sea can dry out in an instant; The Earth’s axis can break like a weak crystal.
It’s all going to happen! Death can cover me with his funeral veil; But the flame of your love can never be extinguished in me.
? Eternal love? by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
Sometimes we feel that love is no longer what it was, that it has changed and that there is only the ephemeral, so we are disappointed because we do not know our partner, because we are not sure that it is the love of our lives and because we cannot understand that it is much more than the immediacy of two loving bodies.
Maybe sometimes love isn’t serious because we don’t let it be, because we fear disappointment and because we don’t believe in miracles or fairy tales, but the real feeling is not built on hyper-romantic ideas from Disney stories.
Love does not happen if we limit it; that is, if we give you an expiration date we will also put a price on you. Also, sometimes it can be cheap because it costs us little (in terms of effort, of course). A few glances, with a kiss and a verse that rhymes with “I love you”, as light as a feather.
It’s something bigger, where the body and its needs don’t make us lose our way. A person does not choose who they fall in love with, time or place. It’s not love, it’s something else. True love is more transcendent and purer.
And as we get older can I tell you that you are the love of my life?
Having hope or the idea that our love will endure generates trust and projects in common, two fundamental ingredients to achieve happiness and stability in our relationship.
We must be brave and engage at all times. Because the love of nothing serves if we suffocate him from the beginning and do not believe in his power or strength, this marks the distance between a couple and a couple for life.
If we talk about true love, we are talking about something that cannot be defined or limited, we cannot even control or tie it, because love is so vigorous that even if it is naked, it does not feel vulnerable.
In other words, a love is lived as if life were eternal, but not the other way around. We will appreciate love more if we can stop impatience and hasten the steps. Certainly, if we get rid of the fear of impermanence, change and cycles of love.
It is ambitious to believe in eternal love, but if we leave time to the ephemeral we will be pleasantly surprised, the idea is to stop being fully or nothing supporters.
It’s not about buying paradise and mortgageing our lives, it’s about earning us a stake in which we feel like paradise. This is only achieved when we do not impose absurd limits on our feelings.
