Olvidamos.

We forgot how to be silly together.

We forgot how to fight.

We forgot how to appreciate.

We forgot how to forgive.

We forgot how to play.

We forgot how to compromise.

We forgot how to kiss.

We forgot how to laugh.

We forgot how to trust.

We forgot how to hope.

We forgot how to dream.

We forgot how to care for each other.

We forgot how to put each other first.

We forgot what mattered.

We forgot what didn’t.

“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.... we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.”

You are an old soul. I think a kindred spirit too. Don't forget, as I often do, it is also important to love yourself. It seems the blog is about a relationship with another person. I read it and thought about my relationship with myself and how I could better "remember" each of those things in learning to love myself better. Thanks for helping me remember.
(Don't beat yourself up sweet girl.)

I don't think this blog is about another person at all. I think sometimes I write about other people, but only because they are important in my life. This blog is about my life. It would be impossible to leave these kind of things out.

Sorry if I offended. For someone to find themselves in your writing is a great compliment. To speak to many souls with your writing is a great gift. Don't leave anything out. You are amazing. (I wasn't referring to the entire blog, only this one excerpt. Sorry to have intruded.)

You did not intrude. I didn't realize you were referring to only this one post. I should not have jumped to that conclusion. I am so grateful you enjoy my writing. Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments. Really. :)
