Can you still love someone you haven't seen for 27 years..?

Maybe. You can love how they were, get to know the person and fall even more in love with him or her.

Sweetheart listen, \nI was in a relationship for thirteen years with someone that 25 years later still makes me weak in my knees and I let my family screw it up, but now I am married with 2 great kids and we live hundreds of miles away. My ex-lover and I still talk and I can not tell you how bad it hurts not to be held by her at night and the guilt I have for actually loving two different people so much and for different reasons. My mom would say "you are not gay" and I believe that you can't help with which person you fall in love with, and sweetie here is the deal if you are in love I mean really, really in love then love this person regardless. I know how hard it is to not fit into society but take it from an old broad love who YOU are and love the one you are with.

Yes! I believe that you can still love a person and not be in love with them anymore. I've been there and its hard, but its very possible.

I can tell you that time will lessen your pain, but you will never forget the person.  I still have a place in my heart for my first love, and while I don't cry over him or technically still "love" him, I will always remember him.  \n\nTime will make it better.  I promise. :)

No, you can love many many people over the course of a lifetime. You can even love more that one person at a time. So if you lose the "Love of your life" then it is posible to move on, you might just not want to.

ABSOLUTELY!!\nMy husband and I have just celebrated our 27th anniversary married and 28th together. The love we have today is much more than what we had on our wedding day. Our relationship is stronger and deeper than ever because of the 28 years we have been through together. You always hear the saying "through all the ups and downs", well it is so true. There were so many times during the first 5 years that I could have said "see ya". But I didn't. We had our first after we'd been married two years, he lost his job shortly after she was born and jobs were real hard to find so we had no money. We had to rely on family and other means to survive. But we did. I had faith in him and I had my Faith in God that we would get through. \nThere were many other financial hardships through the years that should have torn us apart and would have torn other couples apart, but we refused to let that happened becaused we loved each other and had faith in our marriage. We worked together. There was one time around our 17th year that we separated for awhile but I am too bullheaded to let him throw all that time away. So with some fight and work we saw what we needed to do and what we had done. We took each other for granted.\nOur marriage today is stronger, more passionate and devoted than ever. We have a greater understanding of what each other needs--time for each other and for ourselves. Be there for each other but know when to step back and stand beside each other for each other against all others no matter what.\nHe is my heart and soul. He is in law enforcement and I send him out every night with a kiss, a hug and I love you. The rest is in God's hand. I know there is always a chance that he may not come home or he may get seriously hurt. I take that chance because I love him that much. I can honestly tell you this much. If for some reason I would lose him to his job or by nature, he will be it for me. There will be no other in my life. That is how deep he is in my life.\nSo yes, there is long-lasting relationships and deep abiding love. It takes two to make them and lots of hard work every day. But the rewards are worth every minute of the life you will have together.\nI hope this helps

I think so.  If that chemistry is still alive 25 years later--that is truly a match made in heaven.  Chemistry does have a lustful element in it.  I have had nothing really last for me relationship wise, so i cannot comment on 25 year things.

You don't.  Nor should you.  The memory and light that person shared with you will be with you always.  \n\nIn time, you will come to cherish the memories and they won't cause you pain.  \n\nThe 'someone' wouldn't want you to punish yourself forever.  Time heals, and you will slowly start to take baby steps.  I don't know the relationship, I'm assuming it was a significant partner, lover, spouse.... regardless, what I said holds true.\n\nBe good to you, craddle your memories.

Yes I do! Fell instantly in love with my husband 43 years ago and still love him. I know it sounds obvious, but just try to relax and be yourself. Or maybe put something in writing and give it to her with a bunch of flowers. Good luck. LYA

Yes, it's possible, and yes the relationship can last.  I met my gf (now fiancee) online and for the first 2 months of our relationship, we had not met face-to-face.  We have maintained our long distance relationship for over a little over a year now, and I know of many others who have been in an LDR for a longer time.\n\nYou could ask, philosophically, how "real" the relationship would be if the two people have not physically met.  I believe the essence of a loving relationship is mutual love, which I believe can transcend time and space.  For example, I believe the loving relationship between a mother and her yet-to-be born child is real and persists long after the mother has given birth to her child, reared him, grown old, and died.

Make sure that over the years you make the effort to keep in touch with him.  Sometimes as years go by we get involved in our own lives and forget to keep in touch with old friends.  If you make sure that you keep in touch your friendship will be everlasting.  I'm 46 and I have three very close friends that I've known (one I've known from the day she was born...I was six months old...the other has known me since the day I was born...and the other has been my friend since 1st grade) so it is possible. I still keep in touch with many friends from high school.

How do you feel when you are away from this person?  What are the qualities you like about him?  Are they the inside ones or the physical ones?  When you have truly found love you will always want to be with that person.  They will be everything you ever dreamed, and of course they will still have flaws, but you will be able to overlook them.  If you are still thinking about the first guy what is it about him that keeps you thinking about him?  Does the new guy have those qualities?  Just some questions for you to ask yourself.  I hope that helps!

what he/she should do is to start to let others know about his feelings for them... coz it might be too late for him/her. He/she might lose someone who could love him eternally

it depends on how long ago it was when you last saw this person. they might still live somewhere in the area if you went to school with them. if thats so try the phone book. try online archives. and if your'e really serious you might have to dig into your pockets to hire someone who does this sort of thing for a living. i also heard once of a tv show that reunited lost loves. good luck!
