Does love stays for life or just for a second, day, month or year?

I got this from a friend during college days..."We have this idea that love is supposed to last forever. But love isn't like that. It's a free-flowing energy that comes and goes when it pleases. Sometimes, it stays for life; other times it stays for a second, a day, a month or a year. So don't fear love when it comes simply because it makes you vulnerable. But don't be surprised when it leaves either. Just be glad you had the opportunity to experience it". How about you, what is you experience about love? Does it stays forever or just for a second, day, month or year?

...in my own opinion, love stays if it is true, it is just that the people is tired of showing it...we might feel or experience times that we don't feel any special feeling for that person whom we used to love..however, let us remember that love isn't just a single emotions but rather different kinds of emotions...caring for someone alone is one of the emotions that created the love..there are only levels of love...which will measure how strong your love towards that person...=)

i think we all knew that somehow love will and might fade away -- but what love has developed in two persons will not go away that easily. it will always be there, for sure. For me, love will fade and is not forever for those who are not meant to be... but for partners in life who are meant to be together, those that worked hard to maintain the relationship, for sure they will make their love lasts a lifetime - and pass this on as memory to the rest of their family members ... so true and real that they will make a difference in their sons and daughters lives as they talk about it and share with other people.

you have a point there. if love developed, nurtured, then it will be there always. it's like keeping it in a box, it keeps on adding everyday until the box will be full. however, once it will be opened, you'll have a hard time keeping it. it will keep on flowing... thanks for sharing...

From my own perspective,true love can last for a life,just like Rose's love to Jack in Titanic.I also want to meet a girl who to I can give my love of the whole life.However,things are not the same for all people.And I don't think that people whose love don't last long should be blamed.It is probably that two are just not suitable to be together for a long time.So we just let nature take its course when love comes and goes.

I do know what it feels when love leaves. He said, "My life is complicated", and wanted to break up. I just didn't get it. It's a free-flowing energy that comes and goes when it pleases. Yeah, it pleases, but I am depressed. Will it come around?

I'd like to say yes love do last forever but I just couldn't. I will be just lying and misleading you if I agree with you. Love like all other emotions such as anger, sadness, happiness, etc. is fleeting. They do not last forever nor last for a long time.But, they just shift shape. One time, you feel so in love then the next time you feel like you don't love him the way you used to. No matter what we do, love and other emotions will never remain constant. Just like time, they will keep on changing. And just like the people we meet along the way, love comes and goes. So enjoy it while it is still there because once it leaves you, there's no guarantee that it will come back to you.:)

Though I was hurted by many guys in the name of love a couple of times,but I still believe that,yes,love lasts forever, the only thing can be changed is human's heart.Falling in love and stay in love are different matter.When we in love,we love each other so much and we do believe that we will love each other forever, truly feeling at that time.But with the fly of time,one year,two year,ten year later..Ask yourself, are you still love him/her as much as the first? How many things have changed? Maybe the love is turn to family love,maybe it is disappear.. Love is so complicated. I'm looking for it but i'm scared being hurt again.

In my opinion, it depends on the depth of the love you felt for the person. Because, sometimes love can be so martyr and very unselfish. There are lots of times where in i see situations like this. It also depends on which love do we feel. If its family that we are talking about here, of course it will last forever. Because no matter how bitter you feel about your own family. There is always love in your heart for them. If its for a lover, it really depends on how deep your love is for that one person. It can also be forever.

I believe LOVE is a very strong emotion and if someone really loves you the way they say they do then ..... you will be together, but if it's just a game to you then Love may never come to you as you may wish it would. I guess what i'm trying to say is that LOVE is supposed to last a lifetime, but it has to be real love.

Love is like everything else in the world. Being changeful always.Most guys confused first love with love.It's quite different.Love will fade away just like people will get old and die.We don't have to be sad about that.
