Past Love....

I attended my ex-bf's wedding the other day...and so many people were amazed, shocked that i would or can do such a thing. What's the big deal? Hmmmmm.... i think other ppl were more uncomfortable with the idea than me actually going there and sitting thru the whole thing ... haha

I wondered - why the discomfort? I believe that loving someone doesn't stop just because the "romantic" relationship has ended. You can love someone as a friend, as someone who has shared your life in the past... I really wish my ex-bf all the best in his life and that his marriage would be all that he wishes for.

But really, does love just end because your relationship has ended? I would hope that my heart is big enough to continue loving someone even though we're no longer together. I think the love just changes to another type of love. A love for someone that knows you and has shared a season of your life together with you. Well that's what I hope.

Heard a lovely song of love lost, past love... somehow the lyrics really touched me...especially the first two lines... makes me remember ;) .... the song is :

Always On Your Side - Sheryl Crow & Sting My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away But every now and then you come to mind Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game But when your name was called, you found a place to hide When you knew that I was always on your side Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent But my demons and my angels reappeared Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be Too afraid to hear the words I'd always feared Leavin' you with only questions all these years Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally This isn't how it's really meant to be No, it isn't how it's really meant to be Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear, How to pull it close and make it stay Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away And I'm left to carry on and wonder why Even through it all, I'm always on your side Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally Is this how its really meant to be? no, this isn't how its really meant to be Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear How to pull it close and make it stay Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away, Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why Was it you that kept me wandering through this life When you know that I was always on your side?
