A friend recently shared the following on a broken relationship: "She took a bit of me when she went out of my life." I have heard this one before. All of us (well hopefully) have this one time in life when we fall madly in love and think ours is the purest forever kind of love. We build this relationship brick by brick tear by tear only to reach a juncture where you discover it was not meant to be.
Nobody knows why- both wanting to hold on but knowing deep down in their guts that everything is slipping away like sand through the gaps between the fingers in your palm. With agonizing disbelief we think," This cant be happening to me? How will I survive this?" Saddest part is that we do survive- but some part does die taking with it the idealistic notions of true love.
Till the time the next soulmate comes along freeing you from your self imposed emotional exile. Showing you and sometimes teaching you to learn to love again, to make yourself vulnerable again. Maybe the piece you lost in the earlier voyage is lost forever but then you recreate another piece which is unique in its own right.
I think finding love once is lucky enough- finding it second time is plain hitting the jackpot!! And smart people know when they have hit a jackpot and are wise enough to treasure it but this time the trick is to remember this quote of Oscar Wilde, :"..And then they ruin the best of romances by wanting it to last forever!.."

You know there is another contradictory one too- "dance as if nobody is watching you.., love as if it is never gonna hurt.." :)
Whatever they say- at some point in time your heart just takes over, emotions run wild and all those wise cracks & quotations topple down before your helpless self..:) & Even before you can spell Catastrophe- love gobbles you up in all its madness! :)
