I was sitting at a fast-food table enjoying my"lunch". Nothing extraordinary about that...What was overwhelming was the stream of thoughts coming to my mind on that particular occasion. There I was, eating my order and watching the crowd moving continously to and fro. I seemed to concentrate my curiosity on those couples that were hanging out...just passing or stopping for lunch too. And I couldn't help wondering : How did they come across one another ? How long did it take for them to finally form that magical, interesting and intimate couple ? Were they even conscient they belonged to each other ? Did their aspirations matched ? And how many of them celebrated love with pure joy and entire dedication ? Deep inside I was afraid to come back to that common place or to see someday one of them with another "love" by his side. I think I was daring to put to question their credibility as a couple based on the perishable character of human feelings nowadays. We live in a hectic world, the speed century. One must face the fast evolution of life in order to survive. But when it comes to relationships, practice says they have the tendency to break too soon than it used to. My sister used to live with her boyfriend who by the way, was perceived as her future husband. 5 years with good and bad until it finally ended up. But the next month , her former sweetheart married...to someone else. Now my sister is happier with another man and she realises now it would have been a dull marriage if it had ever happened. See... fate has got its own ways... On the other hand, my grandmother still is the respectful "owner" of an 80 year-old hubbie. And her marriage didn't break up after one month, it lasted 62 years. And they still look optimistically to the future, in their own elderly manner. Now, with all their freshness and exuberance, their peculiarities, behaviour and accents, their fashion style and education, their faith and nationalities or the way they held each other- were those couples meant to last ? Is MY couple meant to last ? This is the beauty of life...we never know these things beforehand. But we might want to save those special moments just in case. If it's not the one, don't look back in anger. It was necessary for your comprehension of LOVE.
