I doubt I would find the quiet passion of the early years, perhaps the swetness of later times.
No one special in mind, I think I shall just be happy with my friends.

I think that maybe it is.
People are individuals, and we respond to different things in each one - maybe there is more than one person who can make us respond with that depth of feeling, though possibly for different reasons.
I have been alone for a few years, and never thought my lost love could be replaced; but recently someone has come into my life that I feel as strongly about (I think), although she is a quite different person from my lost partner.
Sorry this answer is full of qualifiers; still trying to resolve some issues in my head.
I'd go for "yes" - there can be nothing wrong with "the sweetness of later times" : )
*hugs*

Not only possible, but probable. And some times the second love is even more intense. Getting over the first takes time, and going on and living your life normally. Just put it behind you and move on. As the old song say... Love is lovelier The second time around Just as wonderful With both feet on the ground It's that second time you hear Your love song sung Makes you think perhaps that love Like youth, is wasted on the young Love's more comfortable The second time you fall Like a friendly home The second time you call Who can say What brought us to this miracle we've found There are those who'd bet Love comes but once and yet I'm oh so glad we met The second time around

You have to focus on loving yourself again before you are ready to love another.
One of the problems with being receptive to loving someone again is that you may be limited by expectations that it has to convey the same feelings or emotions, or it's not love.
You have to realize that you aren't the same person you were the first time you fell in love and the experiences, both during your first love and after it ended, changed you.
So you're not going to be able to approach love with the same starry-eyed quality you had then. That's good in some ways, less good in others, but that's just how life is. Most things in life have that dualistic quality anyway, the double-edged sword, both a blessing and a curse.
One of the good things about falling in love a second time is that you are less prone to expect perfection in your mate and relationship, and more likely to appreciate the inconsequential imperfections as what makes your relationship unique.

I like everyones answers and I agree we aren't the same starry eyed lovers we once were and I do miss the feeling of being so head over heals it hurts..i would give anything to feel that again but along with the bliss comes the pain and we learn from it as we go..i loved and lost and to this day I wish i could feel that way again..i think it is possible and I am trying myself to do just that..

Stop looking for love and love will find you. But will you be strong enough for it?
When we lose at love, we loose not only the person but a part of ourselves. We hurt and we pretend that we will never be hurt again. But then something wonderful happens, we meet someone that is worth the pain, and we begin to feel again. If we are lucky (it is all a matter of luck) those feels will blossom into love. Not the previous feeling of love, but a new love for the new you.

I beleive in soul mates, so in my opinion there is ONE person that you belong to....not everyone gets to find their soul mate in this life time, but everyone does have one. I believe that it is possible to fall in love more than once and start over on a new and successful life together, but i think that there is one that you love more than the other. One that you are meant to be with. I've already found mine.

Yes. It may not be the same as the first time, but it can be just as good.
You never know what the future holds for you, so don't close yourself off from any possibilities.

I hope so Miss Rose. I'm 41 & I don't want to think that I'll be alone forever.

The depth of your love and your loyalty should not preclude you from finding love again ...love is simple to quote k.d.
we can never quite anticipate the sublety of the divine plan ..don't rule anything out ..

Absolutely. My mom's a widow, and she's managed it. It took a few years, though.
