Human emotion works in the strangest ways -

love being the strangest in the way it stays.

Being in love is a personal feeling -

you can share it with more than one person you’re seeing.

They say that true love is only applicable to one

but what if there’re two or even none?

The feeling of love doesn’t evaporate

when the person is gone in which it used to relate,

it stays and lingers in the heart of the emoter

until someone else comes along

that meets that quota.

And then the love that remains is transferred across

to the new person from the old, whoever that was,

but that is what they refer to as a ‘rebound;’

it’s not a new feeling that’s subsequently been found,

but a new person to pass on the lingering emotion,

which is a detrimental, hindering

and preventative notion.

It means that the emoter’s developed nothing unique

therefore, the basis of the new relationship’s weak.

However,

if the emoter was to fall in love with two,

the second relationship would provide something new

and add to the schema developed originally.

But then ones’ affections may be distributed unequally,

because despite having two loves,

one might feel much stronger.

But the first might be needed

to make the second last longer.

 

A friend once told me something very true:

it is impossible to be happy with someone new

until you are happy and content all on your own

and feel free from attachment, to explore the unknown.

 

By transferring love from one to some other,

you will always be content until you meet another,

who genuinely is for you and deserves your attention.

But because you’re not free,

receives subconscious apprehension,

whereas with freedom, you could have been able to build,

yet without, the ability to share is killed.

You won’t be able to establish solid ground

if there are feelings from a previous love still around.

Which is why it is best, although it may hurt

to get over heart ache, and not to revert

to displacing affection from old flames to new,

as true love is developed from someone who

has nothing in their heart to restrict them from you.

Love thus is fresh and unique through and through.
