. . . if it comes back to you, it was yours.
If it doesn't . . . it never was.

I'm sure we've all heard this saying a million times. Do you believe in it? Has it ever happened to you?

__________________

I believe in it. Only my mantra is a song:

We had the right love
At the wrong time
Guess I always knew inside
I wouldn't have you for a long time

Those dreams of yours
Are shining on distant shores
And if they're calling you away
I have no right to make you stay
But

Somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours
will come to see
That you belong with me

Sometimes goodbyes are not forever
It doesn't matter if you're gone
I still believe in us together
I understand more than you think I can
You have to go out on your own
So you can find your way back home
And

Somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours
will come to see
That you belong with me
Letting go is just another way to say
I'll always love you so

We had the right love
At the wrong time
Maybe we've only just begun
Maybe the best is yet to come
'Cause

Somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours
will come to see
That you belong
With me

More times then not, Lilly, it wasn't worth holding on to in the first place, though.

I believe it to a certain extent. I believe things/people come into our lives for a reason. If they stay there's a reason, if they don't...same thing. We learn something either way. I've let go of a ton of people I love and so far, they haven't come back....at least not in the capacity they were here in the first place.

I loved Russel more than I've EVER loved a man, obviously cuz I married him. Just NOW....after 2 yrs of being separated are we talking civily to each other. Doesnt mean we're meant to be together or not.

I was so unhappy in my marriage. He made me miserable and eventually I HATED everything about him. We divorced very civilly.....I drew up and filed the papers and even represented myself in court. We agreed on everything. To this day, we have no issues discussing things, talking from time to time, dealing with the kids together, etc. He helped me pick up my new bed over the weekend and he's lent us money.

Living with him = me miserable. Moving on, yet remaining civil = a nearly perfect relationship now.

I have a philosophy about "love" . . . and you can agree with it or not, but it's what I truly feel. For me, love is 50 percent emotion and 50 percent decision. If you have the emotion, you can still make the decision not to be in the relationship; and you can make the decision to be in the relationship, but not have the love to sustain it. It's only when you have the emotion and make the decision that it will work.

Sorry . . . didn't finish my thought -- busy at work, LOL.

What if a relationship ended "not" because of the level of love but because somebody had made a decision not to be together. If that person came back, and the love was still there AND they made the decision they wanted to be in the relationship, would you let them back?

Well that's a hard question. I would only let ONE of those guys come back. It wouldn't apply to just anyone, however I've not been in love with too many people.

I guess it would depend on why they didnt want to be together and how they portrayed not wanting to be together. Meaning was the split civil or unspoken or based on deceit.

I can respect your answer, Shy.

Dont get me wrong, my Love doesnt go away for the men I fall in love with because there is always the times where it was good, and I can hold on to those memories and the strong feelings of love at those times. But there always seems to be something in the way it ends that wouldnt allow for that pure true love to come back into the picture without being tainted.

What if it comes back to you, but you dont want it anymore because you have grown as a person and grown away from the whole experience.

Hmm... My skeptical side and my romantic side are in complete conflict over this one...

My skeptical side, the side that has been burned, says that if it ended, it probably ended for good reason, regardless of whether it was a decision or a lack of real emotion... For whatever reason, it was a good one at the time and it's only been (in my own experience) that I have let some back because I have either been lonely or didn't have other options for relationships in the works...

NOW, having said all that...

My romantic side wants to believe that sometimes, on more rare occasions, circumstance gets in the way and there are people, who like Karma, have "unfinished business" and that love can be stronger the second time around... if both people are in it for the right reasons, can work through the issues of the past, and have grown into a better "space" than they once were... Sure, it's possible! Anything is possible.

God. I am such a libra. Romantic and indecisive to the core.
