Would it be possible to forget easily? Can the heart really forget? Or you were just able to get used to the pain that your heart is numb enough to feel anything?
I haven't been in love to the point of destruction. The only love that I definitely point my finger on is my love for my family far from that, I can never be sure that I have been in love. If you are going to ask me how I seem to be sure that I love my family. I would tell you that it is because they are the only people who can bring out every emotion that I know, from frustration, anger to happiness. Because of this my bench mark of love is the same. I have to feel these emotions to be able to point directly that what I feel was love. Fortunately for me I haven't been through it, or so I believe. Or so I believe because I never allowed my self to go that far. When things are getting complicated I always find a way out. It's what I call self preservation but to some it's an act of fear. Fear of commitment, fear of pain. Well whatever, but for me it's the easiest way out. It's the only way where I can always escape without much wounds.
I have been contemplating on this, maybe this is the reason why I can be so depressed one day about someone I have fall into then the next day I am fine. I would have wanted to share this to a lot of people to help them get over things easily but that would be tantamount to telling them not to be in love. I could really say that in my 24 years in life I haven't been in love to the point of destroying myself though I have been happy just by the idea that I was in that moment, that for once I was in love. But there was something lacking in it. Something like the happiness was not complete, it's as if deep within there is something that wanted to feel more than what I already felt. But I am not ready to feel helpless, not when my feeling is involve.
So to answer the question, yes, it is easy to forget easily. You just have to reserve some for yourself to be able to move on easily. Because love is not just about giving it all, but also it is about self respect. When you love to the point of losing respect for yourself then you are bound to a lot of pain. Pains that sometimes for some is so unbearable. The heart doesn't forget this kind of emotion but it will learn to get used to it. And when that time comes, you are ready to love again. Maybe the next time around you will be more cautious, more mature and for sure love that would come around this time would be there to last a lifetime.
