FOREVER LOVE- DOES IT EXIST?



I often ask myself,does true love exist? out of curiosity, this question hoovers around my mind, coz I have seen the majority cry over in love rather than be happy in love. When your alone, you wish you had someone and when you have that someone, your either happy or miserable, soon the short lived happiness turns ugly and all that feeling of love and compassion is fake. I am a non believer in love, but I ask you all, do you believe in love? do you even think something such as 'true love' exists? I would admit, I have come across few very few people who have fought for their love and stood firm and remained sincere and loyal through out.. but then, that's so rare to find, like they say 'true love is soo rare to find',like good things and people are rare to find. Once we lose them, it's then we realise their value, we never value something or someone till we have them, coz we think, we don't have to worry about anything and will never lose them. This is a wrong approach, thank Allah for what you have, who you have, maybe the person who you have next to, will God forbid be separated from you.. by circumstances, if you don't take care or value them...
Leave your comments and let me know what you think about true love, forever love, whatever you call it.. does it exist?

You know, I honestly don't know. I'm married, have been for 18 years now, but...but... Love is a really iffy thing, and my daughter has been stung by every boy she has fancied. Every single one of them. As for my older daughter, the one boy who could perhaps have been the love of her life (if such exists...) was killed in a car wreck in March. My marriage isn't nearly as happy as the fairy tales would have us women believe it can be. (Wow, okay, gramatically this comment sucks, but hopefully conveys my meaning anyway.)

So, does true love exist? Outside of fairy tales (where it's often merely rape anyway, as in Rapunzel and the original Sleeping Beauty) and outside of poetry, no, I don't think it does, but I keep hoping I'm wrong.

I'm abit sarcastic when the lovey dovey topic is bought up. However, we only need to look to Muhammed(pbuh) and Khadijah as an example(they had it all). What's your take on it?

Salena Moffat, many thanks for writing, I do believe love is a bond that bridges two strangers and brings them closer. But my definition of love is that ends in marriage and being an understanding partner and compromosing as well. This however is relevant when your partner is doing the same. La Polarity, many thanks for writing too, I am sarcastic about love as welll with a previous bad experience which has simply shattered my belief in love. I do truly take th example of the holy Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) & Khadijah (RA). Nowadays love is more about convenience and using or abusing the other rather actually sealing it with a firm commitment of marriage. Love has caused a lot of pain and grief and I also believe a marriage without love or understanding is pointless. I am sorry if I sound so harsh but in a lot of cases people think that love is not important in a marriage, it is , but no1 has to have it the fairytale like, it can be rather merged with the day to day life, and thus it can still be beautiful. A lot of us are unlucky in love and then we hope the next person in our life will be sincere and be the one. I wanted to lock my heart and build a firm wall around it, until this particular person told me, that what I am doing is wrong because, if someone geniune actually came and I never gave that person a chance, I will be the one at loss. We don't have to sway away with someone who says lovey dovey thngs, we need to test them and ask their intention. Call me old fashioned but I can simply not imagine love without any marriage. For me love is a feeling that can drive you to insanity or make you the most beautiful person in this world. It's the way someone compliments you, criticises ur fault and vice versa.

Thus, there should be no secrets and mind games or mysteries in love. Love should be an open book. I even believe the only form of love which is pure is the one where we love Allah and we feel He's listening to us when we kneel down to pray and ask for His help. We have blind faith and so be the love for Him.

MISUNDERSTOOD- by Arabian Oud {R}

MISUND ERSTOOD At first they you pretend you care, But in reality you were ignorant, You offered help by lipservice, Nothing practical at all, Everytime I was depressed, You thought it was plain drama, Kept saying 'grow up girl', Changes were noticed slowly, The one day you went away, Here I was seeking love and support, Even my friends abandoned me, Everytime they met,it was about them, I pondered on what I had achieved, But there was no answer at all, They don't understand my problems, They never asked, expecting my life go-lucky, Here I am, Sitting on the bed, surrounded by dark walls, Tears keep flowing down nonstop, Wished there was someone by my side, Wiping them away, hearing my pain out, They call me names and think I am bad, They simply don't know my story, Love they say, is a medicine, But I seest that not, it only gives pain, They all called me immature and left, My heart was broken, the music stopped playing, Violins of my heart cried out so bad, Wished, the...

Unbeliever in love - June 2006 poem

I was once a believer in love, but now I am an unbeliever in love, I was so deeply smitten by his smile, but now I wonder what drove me to him? I thought love meant eternal BLISS, but then I realised it was plain HELL, Prancing around the trees like a child, I seemed to lose my innocence in love, Love, you followed my shadow everywhere, And then you entered my blood and then my soul, You crept into my alley in the dark night, Then stole my sleep and hypnotised me, I thought it was so special, 'true love' But it was nothing but a gud 'Time pass' for you, Driving me to insanity and sleepless nights, Then stealing away my dreams and peace, You vanish in the midst of the night, I thought you understood me, you was special, But it was all a charade you put up, You behave all sweet and innocent infront of me, But inside thee are full of betrayal and evil, Now I am an unbeliever in love, Thankyou for waking me up, Coz I can see I was lucky to walk away lonely, I am deaf to the...

Finally by Arabian Oud {R}

Finally It’s finally time to leave this cage, I once called my home, A place full of peace and security, But now everything reminds me of you, Haunts me day and night, I thought you would always be there, But that was a big lie, Hoping to hear from you everyday, I spent time thinking about you, Hoping you were next to me, That look in your face, drove me crazy, But all that is plain history now, I am so lonely now again, I tried to unleash the pain, And run away so many times, But every attempt was a failure, Coz deep down, I had hope, Wishing you would come back, And hug me so tight, Kiss my worries away so bright, Everyone told me I was dreaming, I locked myself into deafness, And slowly drifted into darkness, But now I hear my voice echo, My heart questions you, Where are you my beloved? Did you ever think of me, Miss me and love me? It’s finally time to leave, I was living in a cage, You once called ‘ our home’, You kept telling me, I couldn’t leave, But today, As I walk away into ...
