a reality of love

"I promise I will love you forever." This was the sweetest line he has ever heard in his life. But what has happened to her? She has changed into someone he can't imagine to have become.

"Why on earth that promises of love are so easy to say but as times go by they just don't stand up? How many relationships have come and gone, this has been said many times yet still it has not come true until now. It is still an elusive statement, a surreal reality." These were the things on his mind as he looked from afar. 

I remember a movie shot in Africa where children were looking for small gold pieces in a brown-watered river. It is really a physically exhausting work for children not to mention the scorching heat of the sun. The worst part of it is to get nothing after straining for days.

Love is like this. We strain for small pieces of gold under the heat of the sun for days. If we persevere and work for a period of time, we may find one. But there are times that we really can't find a piece of gold in the river. No matter how much perseverance we give just to find a small piece of gold in the water, gold is just not really to be found.

He is not growing any younger, but still love has never been good on his side. What has love done to him why he suffers this way? What has he done for love why he bears this way?
