When Love Fades

A reminder that even the strongest hearts have limits

By Rohitha LankaPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

At some point,

We must accept that matters of the heart

It can change at any time.

There is no guarantee

People who love each other very much

Will not break up.

Some couples spend more than half their lives together

Sharing happiness and sorrow

Going through all sorts of problems together.

But when the time comes that the "heart is gone"

No matter how "beautiful" the past

Times are

It becomes "unimportant".

Today, if we still have someone by our side

Don't be demanding until it's annoying

Don't be unreasonable until it's boring

Don't be selfish until it's disgusting

Don't be selfish until it's too much

Today, he may be able to endure

But that doesn't mean that

He will "endure" forever

Sometimes the catalyst

For love to "expire"

It is not the condition of time

Or not because of anyone

But because of our own "stupidity"
