Question.... does love ever really go away? When I was younger, I "fell inlove" with a friend and they moved across the world - they never knew. I still love that friend even though I havent heard form them in over 20 years. I loved an ex of mine from 17 years ago and still do - they knew. We never really broke up with each other, but I had to move across country so it just ended..... but the love never really went away. As everone knows form previous posts I have made, I "fell inlove" with another friend which has been hell trying to make go away......... and now I am questioning after all these experiences, will it ever go away.

so big question is does love ever really go away?

I think some love fades with time, but there are some loves that come into our lives and don't seem to go away. I have one such love like that. It hasn't gone away in 18 years. We just have to keep focusing on the present and not let our past control our present lives.

I think familial love never goes away, but romantic love can fade. For me it fades QUICK and I forget about the person I was dating almost immediately. Maybe I'm heartless or maybe I've just never been in love. I think it's the latter. I've cared about people a lot, but never loved them. Whatever love is. I have yet to find that out.

Well what if that past love becomes back to the present... but not by choice?
