“Love is so short forgetting is so long”

Pablo Neruda

Simplified Meaning:

When people fall in love, they usually experience intense, happy feelings, but these moments often don’t last very long. It's like writing a short story: the love part happens quickly, and it feels amazing while it lasts. However, when the relationship ends, the pain and memories of that person can linger for a very long time. Think about a beautiful summer day; it is joyous and special but ends before you know it. Yet, the cold, tough winter that follows seems to drag on forever. The joy of that summer day stays in your mind, and the sadness of winter makes it hard to forget. In everyday life, this means that even though the happy times in love are brief, they have a strong impact. When the relationship ends, it can be very hard to move on because the memories are still very vivid. For someone who has gone through a breakup, it can take much longer to heal and forget the person they loved. Understanding this can help you be patient with yourself or with friends who are dealing with heartbreak.
