The way Love is.
I just suddenly thought of this the other day.
Love doesn't seem to.. stay.
It lingers around for a while.. then goes..
Let us look at the life cycle of LOVE.
Stage 1 : Parents
When you were born, your love belongs to your mother, or your parents. Afterall, the only persons u come in contact with most frequently are your parents. They feed you, clothe you, play with you, rock u to sleep etc. Their care for u makes you love them.
Stage 2 : Friends
In school we make loads of frens. Slowly, these friends become important to us. We are afraid tt we will lose these frens.. so we put them as one of our top priorties. We used to tell troubles to our parents, but now we turn to our friends. Sometimes, we even dislike our parents, for being there, 'meddling' with whatever we do. We may even feel shameful of them at times.
Stage 3 : Lovers
As we grow older.. we meet even more people, people of the opposite sex. Then we think we meet the correct one. The correct one is v. impt to us. Because we think that we will be spending the rest of our lives with him/her. So we concentrate most of our love on this person.. we all have a limited supply of love. Which means that we will start to love our friends less, and our family even lesser.
[This stage may not apply to all]
Stage 4 : It's back to family and friends
The supposedly correct one, doesnt seem to be the correct one after all. Then wad happens to the love we invested in tt person? It goes back to family n frens. Love is like energy, it only gets transferred/converted, but not lost.
Stage 5 : Husband and wife
We den get married and settle down. love goes to our partners. Friends aren't so impt at this stage alrdy, because in times of trouble, family members are usually the first to help.
Stage 6 : Our very own kids
We bear kids. Kids are the centre of our world now. The world revolves around them. Partners.. still impt but kids are on a higher priority. Kids kids kids kids and kids.
Perhaps, for the rest of our lifetime, the stage ends here. The cycle for our kids den starts again... notice that some love lingers.. even when we move from one stage to another. When we decide to love someone, the love that we give will always remain with that person even if they were to leave us forever.
