THE ESSENCE OF TRUE LOVE

Got this from another blog, but I liked it

so I decided to post it here

If you're afraid to love a person
because of friendship,
then you have choices,
either to tell what you feel
and let the love take place of forever,
or to hide the feeling
under a friendship full of pretensions.

Sometimes I've asked myself,
what would make me happy?
To think that i have everything else,
i get what i want...
then i realized it was you,
that was missing from my life
Love can never be so beautiful without friendship...
one leads to another and the process
is irreversible...the best of lovers
are the greatest of friends!!!

Love doesn't have to have a happy ending,
because love doesn't have to end at all.

A man realized he wanted his love back
not wanting to be hurt again.
the girl said "no."
the man cried out to God,
"if it was meant to be,
why did i lose her?"
God replied, "you didn't lose her...
you let her go!"

When you love someone,
don't expect that person
to love you back the same amount.
One of you will be ahead,
the other behind.
It's either you catch up
or the other waits.


THINK OF THIS:

have you really cared for someone
more than you expect?
Have you ever tried to love him/her
inspite of all the pain?
Will you keep on loving him/her
as he/she whispers someone else's name?
.....will you???

True love hears
what is not spoken,
and understands
what is not explained,
for love doesn't work
in the mouth,
nor the mind,
but in the heart...

When you love,
you must not accept
anything in return,
for if you do,
you're not loving
but investing.
if you love,
you must prepare
to accept pain,
for if you expect
happiness,
you're not loving
but using...

I like you because
you're my friend,
and because you are
my friend i care,
and because i care,
i love you,
i don't love you
because you
are my friend,
i love you
because i do!

WHAT IF SOMEONE
TELLS YOU THIS:
"don't believe in courtship.
it's just a waste of time.
if i love a person,
I'll tell her right away,
but for you I'll
make an exception...
just love me now,
and I'll court you forever!"

never be afraid
to fall in love.
it may hurt a lot,
it may give you
aches and pains,
but if you don't
follow your heart,
in the end you will
cry even more
for not giving
love a chance.

I'm sorry if you
can't love me
the way you loved
the one before me,
so I'll let you go
to find him/her and
hope someday you'll see
that the one true love
you're looking for was
the one who set you free...

ain't it funny
we're trying to catch
the attention of the
one we think we love?
we hardly notice
the one we're really
looking for was just there.
you don't notice them 'till they
are in the arms
of someone else...

love is like standing
on wet cement,

the longer you stay
the harder it is to leave ...

and you can never go without

leaving your prints behind...

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
it's better to lose your pride

with someone you love
rather than lose that someone

you love with your useless pride.

i can't choose who I'm going to love,

but i also can't just love
who chooses to love me...

and you can't blame
me in choosing

to love you as
much as i can't blame you
for not learning to love me.

"how can i say good-bye

to someone i never had?

why do tears fall for someone

who was never mine?

why is that i miss someone

i was never with

and i ask why i love
someone who's love

was never mine?"

it's hard for two people

to love each other

when they live

in two different worlds...

but when these two
worlds collide and become one,

that's what you call...magic!

"love may leave your

heart like shattered glass,
but keep in mind that

there's someone who'll be
willing to endure the pain

of picking up the pieces
so you could be whole again"

***The most cruel thing

a guy could do to a girl is to
let her fall in love when

he doesn't intend to catch her fall!***
