Love happens only once - Not so sure??

As human being we all are prone this phenomenon called Love. Its available in diff flavors....mother-son, father-son, sibling-sibling, boyfriend-girlfriend, husband-wife combo, friend-friend combo, etc etc etc......each of the flavors have their own charm and sweetness to it. But what I am going to dwell more here is the heart-heart love.....difficult explanation to what it actually means...ask me if I have any structure to what I am writing, I will say no..have no clue at all...but then all these thoughts and real life stories keep bubbling in my head.

Someone asked me little while back if Love happens only once in lifetime. Can we find true love and if I get true love....is it possible that I can fall in true love again after a certain time, with a certain person, willingly or by heart's command? I told the person what I believe in. As human beings, God has given us a gift to keep falling in love time and again. We fall in love with personalities, faces, actions, reactions of someone. By nature, it is impossible to shut the doors because heart has none, its like a canvas on which diff colors can be painted using diff brushes, diff strokes, diff thoughts. Am I undermining the value of commitment in any relationship and justify broken commitments? No as per what I feel

I remember when a friend of mine first fell in love, it was with a girl in yellow dress, he searched for the girl for days, sat in her class, kept looking for her and when he found her, that was the best feeling he ever got. For three years, he kept looking at that girl and couldn't help but be in love with her even though he knew the feeling wasn't mutual. True love...yes it was, for him.

Life didn't stop here and love returned with reinforcements in his life, this time as a simple and young girl, simple and nice...to become one of his closest friends....nothing outstanding about her but still she stood out among all, to him she was like an angel and nothing less...the day would start and end with her. Sometimes moments in life stick to your mind and there he can see her today too....sitting in a white dress, right next to the canteen, waiting for him (let me take this liberty) and a extra weekend class to start....first time he ever cried when he knew she would leave his life...did she also fall in love with him..he doesn't know and I don't want to know.

As the time moved along, same friend fell in love with someone who he though was much beyond his level. A very beautiful, elegant and charming lady. She had a presence of her own where she was....everyone will pay their regards to her when she will come in, even if silently inside their heart....no eye could miss her. My friend stood no chance, not even the slightest of it....but then God had its own plans....the meetings happened and there they were hopeless in love with each other. Emotions overpowered all rational thinking, the heart always rejected any rational thought and mind just followed what heart said. That is the power of love...

So, when do we know the love is complete or love achieved what is set out to....when do we know that love is a true feeling and not just hormonal imbalance may be.....do we need to spend the lives together to mark the success of love.....do we need a name to be put against love for it to be any meaningful....

Do I have the answers, No. Look for your own answers, its not a guarantee that we will find the answers, but you will find love....doesn't matter how short, how long, where, with whom.....Love happens and just about happens to each one of us! Cherish the moments that love shares with you, for these moments just make the life so much worth it, so much worth living it !
