Nazzareth said it best, "Love Hurts" and Def Leppard concurred, "Love Bites!"

I have only had one true love in my life...and that was over 15 years ago. Since then, I have been married, had children and then divorced the one who was never my true love. Some say that time heals all pain, but I disagree. As I went through my recent divorce, I found myself crying not for my wife, but the one true love that I lost so many years ago. For me, I have arrived at the conclusion that there can ever only be ONE true love...the rest just help to fill the void. If you can put the past behind you and totally recover from the pain of "lost love" then I do not believe it was "true" love! True love does not come and go..."True" love sticks with you through eternity...Although it is clearly a different kind of love (one better hope), it is similar to the love a parent feels toward their child(ren)...that love never dissipates.

My true love was 99% right for me and maybe, just maybe 1% wrong. Yet I threw it away and have lived with that regret everyday for the past 15 years. Not a day passes that I don't think about her. However, I try not to let myself stagnate over the thought of her. I simply move on in hopes that I will find another "true" love, although I do not hold my breath.

She defined the term "making love" for me!!! When we made love, it was not uncommon for us both to simply hold each other so tight and actually cry together because of the emotional connection & release.

Sorry for rambling...this is probably the first time in 15 years that I have gotten that off my chest. I wish you the best of luck, and my thoughts are with you and your s/o as this must be a very trying time for you both!!!
