What Happened

A small realization that I made about how the basics of love have changed.

Whatever happened to falling for something on seeing them from a distance, or smelling a certain scent that makes you feel like love is really in the air. Whatever happened to hearts skipping beats if we think we see someone and hearts racing even when we find out its not who we thought. Whatever happened to that gaze which burns into the very core of our souls and shakes it up like never before, whatever happened to that shivering of each cell of the body with a something not even close to a smile. Whatever happened to falling in love with someone’s words or voice? Whatever happened to falling in love for the sake of falling in love and not to reach to an unimportant social platform? Whatever happened to wanting someone only after seeing them pass by in a bus? Or to dreaming about someone who you dreamt of but don’t even know? What happened to that rush of emotions for reasons as silly as can be?

Here’s hoping we find our way back to that kind of love and seize it forever.

You do a very good job of showing us the questioning you have about how romance & friendship have changed. Your questions show your side of this story, which I often try to tell in my own writing, about how life was when I was young (long time ago) & how romance was like what you describe here. I wish that today’s youth could experience growing up the way I did. That’s why I share the stories of my youth. My only suggestion to improve your writing -- try to avoid using clichés (“love is in the air” . . . “hearts skipping beats” . . . “hearts racing”) – try to find new ways to show us how this feels instead of using the same old phrases that have been used for a century. As your written piece goes on & on here, you get more involved in your message & you stop using clichés, so your message comes out more original, after those first few clichés! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Not exactly a search.It is more like how times have changed the way we react to love.
