The romantic reunion that made me cry the most recently? –
the old servant reuniting with his wife when Drew Barrymore rescues him from
the slavers in Ever After: A Cinderella Story
Why did that make me tear up when most romances just make me
barf these days?
Guess because I’ve seen how love seems to die for most
people. Most people after 20-25 years of marriage seem to be bound only by
society and habit. They no longer care
about each other, they no longer wait to talk to each other, they no longer
appreciate the smile on each other’s face… and that is sad, for what is love if
not the desire to make someone happy, to take away their pain and bring a smile
to their face…
When you no longer care about making the person you love
smile, you know that you’re very close to the end. And vice versa – when someone
doesn’t care about making you smile – maybe it’s time to pack up and kill that
particular story. Maybe wait for a love that will truly last ever after – long
after you’re bent and crabby, long after you’ve lost your teeth and charm, a
love that will look at you and still care that you smile…
