I don't think that we ever stop loving people.
I think that the kind of love or the level of love only changes but
it'll always be there.
Even if we say that we hate a person, that still means there is love, for we will not know hate if we do not know love. In the same way that we will have no concept of good if we don't know bad, nor will we know light if we know not darkness.
It is love that fires up hate; too much love means greater hate, lesser love of course means lesser hate.
At the end of the day, when all the hatred wanes, the love does not really go away with it as most people would say. The love simply transforms into something different, something probably weaker, something not enough to power a strong relationship yet something no longer capable of generating too much hate, something near indifference, something unnoticeable yet existing, something that we can choose not to acknowledge even if we can feel it sting.
Sometimes when we see a person that we say we used to love, there is still this sting, that's because we still love the person, just not in the same way that we used to. Besides, we have to admit, we owe this person probably a lot, for if it were not for the pain and hate we felt during or after the relationship, we would not have learned. (okay last sentence is only applicable to those who actually learned something...for the others, ponder on it.)
And this is the result of me watching the movie "Playing for Keeps" with Gerard Butler and Jessica Biel as lead characters. Some of you might think I'm too shallow to cry while watching this movie since this is not really heavy drama, but those of you who knows me understands that even funny movies make me cry.
