free love ..right out of the sixties/70's? .. I get the sentiment, but I look at the overall meaning as being- the one I miss is the one I love and by all accounts the one I'm with body mind and soul, whether she's there or not.... not some other person. I see the other girl as the reminder of who I'm with and who I love.. something like that
the option to take things literally .. or not ... provides wiggle room ... for all kinds of ... nonsense ... or common sense .. or comedic sense ... makes sense?
It may seem odd and bit of an epiphany for some Jeff; but, a great deal of people on singles sites, myself included are past 'walkers' ...something about our relationships, without finding blame has resulted in our walking. Does it become habit? I'm sure your recent readings would say so; but, I also think as you pointed out earlier, for some the epiphany comes, awareness invades and there is a possibility to right the ship. Too late may be an issue as well, because it seems more difficult to find someone when the majority are 'walkers' who may not have seen the light.
Obsessions limit. And unless I'm wrong, the limiitations we have that we don't see in ourselves will steer our ships inadvertantly. Becoming aware is key to change and to expanding our horizons.
kind of what Jeff has said, life changes daily, feelings and sentiment change right along with it, so we're essentially walking out on the person we were when we fell in love, rather than trying to recapture who we were then. Love seems easier to fall into I guess with a new person , than how it feels to 'have to' reignite the flames with the one youre with.
Maybe we just get feeling like, its been a long hard struggle and at least the possibility of 'new' love would recapture the feeling since it seems apparent that the present relationship is going no where. I think we abdicate our own responsiblity, walk away from it, in favour of what seems an easier route with someone new; only to find its essentially the same effort that's needed to fire love and passion where you are ...
when X's are n't gone ... it means X's aren't gone ...so I am ... baggage thats not sorted, usually means they want you to sort it for them and they won't likely like how you do that so ...
