Relationships are undoubtedly the most dynamic and complex societal contraptions.

And after 27 entire years of meeting greeting bonding bickering quarrelling misunderstanding un-bonding drifting away and reconciling with various people I have realized that relationships don't come with a real expiry tag.
By real, I mean they may seem extinct at some moments, but they actually are dormant. Because a connection once made, or nurtured, exists at some inexplicable level - it exists with a sense of permanency, one cant comprehend. It's never over, it just can't be.
Vacuum can never replace a 'once -was' relationship.
There can be doubt, anger, suspicion, aloofness, indifference, hatred, it still is a relationship. And yeah these feelings are dynamic. Anger today could fade into hurt tomorrow or into indifference or into aloofness or forgiveness. Its a delicate and fickle thing- this whole relationship deal.

I know I'd give an arm and a leg and a lot more for the stability and reassurance of a relationship that's rock solid , transparent, unchanging ! But I guess, you come to learn that an equation which with all these constants may not evolve. I must admit, a relationship does acquire some character, after some upheavals.
