I’ve always been *kinda* surprised that Christmas is the peak holiday for suicides. I always figured Valentines Day (AKA: “Ha-ha! You’re A Loser And You’ll Die Cold And Alone Day”) would be the peak season for the eating of chocolates and bullets. Shrug.
Love can be lost in many ways. Person A might still love Person B, while B does not remember A for any of a wide range of reasons:
1) B never even knew A existed (see: fanatical nutjobs stalking celebs and the like)
2) A loved B, B thought of A as a “good friend” and then they parted ways
3) B made a conscious effort to forget A (see: Blue October’s “Hate Me”)
4) B has lost B’s memory, or at least relevant portions of it.
5) B has gone mad, and is no longer home.
6) B has suffered brain damage, and is no longer home.
7) A screwed up: Made B angry.
8 ) A screwed up: never made the moves on B.
9) B is dead. The dead do not remember.

Thus indistinguishable from religious faith. And like religious faith, love can only rarely be reasoned out of.
How come I half expect that one of those ghosts is going to me muttering “RED-RUM” and look just like Jack Nicholson?
Ok, stop that now.
That is just plain depressing.

For some of us, that is everyday life.

“Don’t go into the light.”
Are we talking unrequited love here?

Depends on what “we” you are referring to.
