Time or Love…Time and Love
I have heard it said that “time heals all wounds.” I have also heard it said that “a person has truly moved on from a previous love only when there is a new love.”
So which is the great healer, then, time or love?
And I Love You So (yes, the movie that stars Bea Alonzo, Sam Milby and Derek Ramsay) tells us that both Time and Love are healers. However, Time has to do the healing first. It cures during the phase wherein a broken heart is akin to an Emergency Room case — blood all over, open wounds, broken bones, cries of pain. It is Love that completes the whole healing process. Love may be present at the Emergency Room, during treatment at the Infirmary, or even at the height of surgery, but its presence is full force during recovery. Love awashes and renews and rejuvenates after Time has been able to clean, stitch and medicate.
I believe there is no other way. Time and love works hand-in-hand, yes, but each is needed more on certain phases of healing. A new love works at its best only when time was able to do its magic.
P.S. I love this film. Bea, Sam and Derek are at their finest. I have seen all of Bea’s movies (I am a John Lloyd-Bea fan), and in And I Love You So, she is at her best (BTW, Bea-Sam…knee-wobblling hot!).
