Do you believe in true love?


  • Love

    “More Happy love! More Happy Happy love!”- John Keats Love. Hmm…That famous pounding in the heart, the shivers, the dreamy eyes, the soft, shy smiles…does it still exist? Today, love is scorned by so many people- how often have we heard people all around us, declaring out loud: “I don’t believe in love!” or better yet, “I plan, never ever to fall in love!” Well, sorry to deceive you, but this is actually way beyond your control. Yeps, that’s right. Falling helplessly, madly, totally in love with someone, or simply developing a crush or an infatuation on that particular tall, dark and handsome stranger is not for us to decide. Actually, love or infatuations are mostly caused by circumstances…with a bit of passion thrown in of course! Often, those who claim not to believe in love or those who declare themselves to be die-hard UNromantics are mostly those who have been either hurt in love before, or who simply did not get the chance to experience it yet. Come on guys! I understand if you have been heartbroken before or had a few painful experiences in love in the past but is this the reason why you should be sooooo pessimistic and join James Blunt in his famous, pathetic song “Goodbye my Lover”? What if your heart has been shattered once? Or twice? This is not the end of the world- and most importantly, this does not mean that love does not exist! If that was the case, then geniuses like John Keats or Shelley would not have existed to enchant us with wonderful poems on love! If love was really only a fantasy, then mankind would never have existed! What can be more wonderful than a budding relationship between a man and a woman? Imagine a world where despite the differences in their opinions, they still complete each other; still make each other glow simply by their mere presence. Sigh… I know, I know, many off you out there are most probably rolling your eyes and scoffing and saying that real life is far from being a classic fairy-tale romance but I really cannot understand why sooooo many of you persist in being so negative? Such happiness does exist- it is not one or two painful experience which will put an end to love. Sometimes, without even planning to, you may fall in love with somebody. Or, you may have conjured up your ‘ideal guy’ in your mind and then fall for someone who is the complete opposite of your dream-boy, both physically and mentally. Yeah, such things do occur, for love actually lies in circumstances beyond your each. Similarly, you may develop feelings for somebody who is not available, but remember, true love knows no jealousy, no possessiveness… It is simply about loving, smiling, being happy and knowing to let go when the times comes. Love is euphoria. As simple as that. A die-Hard Romantic

    I've been in love, but I don't believe in TRUE love. If love was TRUE, we would be completely self-less and self-sacrificing.

  • love still exists. no doubt.

    i agree with the auther completly. this is kind of how i am with my girlfriend right now. the whole look in the eyes, soft smiles all that. it's how we are around each other. i've been hurt many times and at one point gave up completly. but the ironic thing was 3 months after i gave up on love relationships all that i met her and well... like she said. you can't stop yourself from falling in love. and that's exactly what happened. guys always feel like they have to be tough as steel and all that. but the truth is when you open up with girls it really makes the relationship closer. my girlfriend definently taught me that one. and now i can't thank her enough because i've open up to her and talked about things i never even talked about to my closest friends. it was hard but when i did it she showed me care and trust i've never seen. love still exists no doubt about it.

  • I Hope

    but of course it does.But i think people tend to think negatively about everything as a coping mechanism.Like if you don't hope for it,it won't happen and you won't care because you didn't think it would.People are weird that way.
