The lost love

Learn to move on

So many write ups on lost love I read,

Wonder why do people feel tense about that,

Why are people so worried about the heart break?

Life is not only about love and hate,

If you love someone then let that person free,

Why do you keep on thinking about it only?

Just tell your mind that, that person was not meant to be yours,

Just open your mind and get involved with others,

There are many other more important issues in life to look at,

Making your loved ones proud of you is one of them,

Just enjoy the simple things in life,

I am sure smile on your mother's face is more important,

The day your friends and family feel proud of you,

Is more important than the day you spend about thinking about the lost love,

What is not meant to be yours can never be yours at all,

Forget about the love that is lost,

Look around and find the person who actually loves you a lot,

Life is not about crying because someone dumped you,

Its about finding your actual being,

Please dont act as loser and cry all the time,

If you succeed in life, your love might come back,

Remember this that true love is only found in fairy tales,

Please dont get depressed if your love fails,

Move on friends, please move on from that.

I very much agree with your views. Life is about going forward. It is not about self pity. "If you love someone then let that person free" is the only way to be. Love is not about possession or control. It is an extension of friendship. I disagree that true love is only found in fairy tales. Well, perhaps I live in a fairy tale. As my 44th wedding anniversary approaches I am sometimes tempted to pinch myself to see if I am living in a dream but, of course, I don't because, if I am I wouldn't want to wake up. I enjoy your philosophy however I must agree that this work is not very poetic. A poem needs rhythm, a pulse like a song. Perhaps you are more of a philosopher than a poet. I wish this website had a category for thoughts instead of just poems and stories.

poetry is all about philosophy I guess..... I am not a professional poet...I write what I feel :)read morepoetry is all about philosophy I guess..... I am not a professional poet...I write what I feel :)
Thanks for the kind appreciation though :)

[Saddam]

I'm not agree with you. It is true there is other thing to be done but if we do it let it be.... then it is not love. Your think is like modern stories inspired you. If we have not feeling about love or we think Chalo Pyar long Chala to thik nahi to koi baat nahi, then where is love.

We must think about the situation but may feel and live that moment. .....Your view is admirable but love is Love. Pyar ka matlab tyag mein bhi hai....

[CA Anurag Sharma]

hahaha....modern stories did inspire me but in the sense you are saying my friend... I seriously sont understand why people mess up their lives for someone who doesnt reciprocate with their feelings.... may be I am wrong...even your family loves you...I am sure Mother's love is the purest... if you understand love then you must understand her love for you too... she wont be happy when you are not happy....you are also affecting the lives of other people around you by doing that.... I am not saying that I am correct but this is what I feel and you have got all the right to disagree my friend.....its just my point of view :)

Anurag - thanks for the RR. I feel this could have been done more eloquently and less like a lecture in its tone - there are many great lines and truths here though - its realistic as opposed to romantic but then again it wasn't meant to be a romantic poem.
I watch a programme called surprise surprise here in Ireland and it has shown many times that you don't give up - high school sweethearts that were subsequently divided by marriage (to others) and years and distance eventually getting back together, which i love to see.
I understand that your not saying the opposite - that you are saying that 'if its meant to be it will be' but I think it wont 'be' if we completely let them go - we can do so in a healthy way too - it doesnt have to be an unhealthy thing.
"An ounce of hope is worth a ton of despair."

First of all thanks for your review ANTO....i feel surprised sometimes when I see people talking about their lost love all the time.... how can your life revolve around someone? how can you let someone play with your mind? Its your life... take control of it.... when people get depressed in love... they are not only hurting themselves but also the people around them ..their family, friends who actually love them.... if someone is meant to be in your life that person will find a reason for it...if not then that person will find an excuse for it.... so keep it simple....live and let other person live too....

[ANTO]

I get where you're coming from Anurag - yes, giving in to the obsessive side of it does affect all involved but the ability to put it aside, whilst pragmatic, is also not always possible. Different people deal with loss (for it is a loss) in different ways. I suppose that your view of this is just as alien to me as mines/theirs is to you. Yours surprises me but I can truly see the benefits of what you are saying.
I guess you said it when you said "How can your life revolve around someone?".

[CA Anurag Sharma]

I am not targeting anyone... I am talking about what people do generally.... Everyone goes through this process but the best way is to forget, forgive and move on... its difficult but very much possible... anyway I respect your views on this too.... but one needs to take control of this... thats my point ..... :)

[ANTO]

I agree my friend - moving on it the ideal - but it is the ideal - Im glad you recognise the difficulty and I also concede that its possible in the same way that all things are - eventually
We all have our points of view and we respect each others, thats totally understood and its good to debate such things - I respect you Anurag - I didnt feel as though you targeted me per se - I was being devil's advocate - but when I get an RR I do say what i am thinking and give my opinion :)

[Rounak Jain]

Well, I read both the sides. Anurag, what you say is wise to an extent. To pull himself/herself out of the situation, he/she must involve with new ppl. Ppl who love him/her. Meet new ppl, go to new places, enjoy. But even after all these, deep down, a bleak inside screams out in search of that same lost one (Lets say X). There is this subconscious mind that can make him/her dream about X, cry for X. Dreams, no one has control over. All II can say is its just not easy to forget X when you know your life was a paradise with X.
I strongly believe that you love only once, rest all is just a compromise to complete the journey called life.

[Rounak Jain]

Also, ANTO. To what you said, if I got it right, shall I twist that quotation to "an ounce of hope along with a ton of despair" just for this case.

[ANTO]

I think if we choose to keep the ounce of hope then when we use it as a key to revisit the past then we deserve the ton of despair - In my opinion its possible though to keep the ounce of hope without employing it as a key to the past which causes the despair.

[CA Anurag Sharma]

Thank you Rounak and ANTO for your comments on this one....every person has right to agree/disagree with this one.......Thank you ANTO I respect your view point too...you may be right but this is what I think about the people who cry about so called love...
