First Love: I too had a love story - Page 2

You give me this example, I can give you another which shows something different.

My cousin fell in love with a neighbour. They were completely and utterly devoted, and wanted to get married. Her brothers were against it and arranged her marriage with someone else. She, completely helpless and distraught committed suicide.

My cousin fell apart. But over time, his wounds healed and he moved on in life. He married someone and they have 2 children.

Did he love that girl? Undoubtedly

Was she his first love? Absolutely

Does he love his wife? Completely

Does that mean he has forgotten his first life or her importance in his life? No.

It only means that he has accepted that while she is gone, his life continues. Even at the time when he didn't want to go on, his life still carried on. It has to. It does. Grief is overpowering only if you allow it to overpower you.

She is still in his heart, and her photo is still in his album. He will always love her somewhere in his heart. While his life carries on with his wife and kids, the memories of that girl lie silently in his heart always, and forever. He neither betrayed her by marrying another, nor does he betray his wife by holding onto her memories. Both are the biggest truths in his life and stand on their own merit. One does not negate the other
