In relationships we tend to start out happy and perfect. We have that rush of love and we get back into the swing of things. We begin to remember the embraces and the holding of hands. We also remember the pain from the previous relationship and that surely does correlate with the ending product. Whether we end up together or apart, the pain we've felt before plays a large role within these special connections between people.

I often hear people wanting things to be the way they were before. Some realize and some don't that things can never end up like that. We have that rush at the beginning and some keep that and others don't. This does not of course directly proceed to the end of a relationship but could encourage a flourishment of good changes.

It's even more unexpected when those we love end up hurting us more than we ever thought. It gets to the point where tears no longer show the other person that you're upset. It gets to the point where you have no idea which direction you should go.

For example, this is a line from a song. "You see it's never bad enough to just leave or give up, but it's never good enough to feel right." It's very true too.

Sometimes, though, I'd rather not know the damage love can do. I'd rather not give someone so much power to destroy me. Yet I do, because we all do. We all want someone to prove to us that love doesn't not just destroy, but can soothe and help towards the healing of past wounds.

Oh love, where would we be without you?
