Love's Labour Lost...

“The worst situation in love is when you fall in love with someone who doesn’t know you exist."

I have been writing a bit too much on love because I am trying to understand the intricacies involved. Why isn't everyone successful in love and why do break-ups occur in relationships? I don't know the answers to these. First things first... The world doesn't recognize silent lovers. Obviously, how can it when it doesn't know the person? So those people get lost somewhere in the pages of history. And there are indeed many lovers who succumb to there shy nature and in spite of the fact that their love is true and they could have made a great partner, have a sad and disappointing ending to their love life. But let’s spare a thought for those who keep the flame of their love alive even after knowing that the very person they are so much in love with is not aware of his existence. Sounds much like a movie script but then aren't movies based on real life incidents? The problem with people is that everyone falls in love at some point of time but few really understand the meaning. Love is not a business deal where you expect the other one to reciprocate. Love is more of a feeling where you care for the other one irrespective of what the other one feels. There is no such thing called revenge or domination in love and ego is one of the biggest spoilers in love. Whatever attitudes might be propagated by movies, I personally feel that love is so pure and innocent that the only thing you care for is that your partner is never hurt. Hence things like going against family and forgetting your close ones is never advocated by love. In fact love is such a feeling you start seeing the good things in life and try to balance everything in life. Lastly a word for the persons who have sacrificed in love - they are the ones who have understood the depth of love. They have given more importance to their partner's feelings and happiness. So it doesn't really matter to them if we call their cases as love's labour lost...
