Love

Very often when we meet someone, he or she belongs to someone else. It's funny how we set qualifications for the right person to love, while at the back of our minds we know that the person we truly love will always be an exception. There would come a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person started hating us or something, but because we found out that they'd be happier if we let them go. You will know when you really love someone when you want him or her to be happy even if their happiness means you are not a part of it. If someone comes into your life and becomes a part of you but for some reasons he or she couldn't stay, don't cry too much... just be glad that your paths crossed and somehow he or she made you happy for a while. There are some things that we never want to let go of... people we never want to leave behind; but keep in mind that letting go is not the end of the world, but rather, it is the beginning of a new life. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want him or her to, doesn't mean he or she doesn't love you will all he or she has. Remember that the best relationship is when your love for each other is greater than your need for each other. "I dropped a tear in the ocean... and the day I find it would be the day I'll stop loving you." Do you have someone to say that to? You'll know that you miss someone very much when every time you think of that person, your heart breaks into a million pieces and just a quick "Hello" from that person can bring the broken pieces back together. When you love someone, draw a circle around their name instead of a heart because hearts can be broken but circles never end. Just a thought: what would you do if the only person who could make you stop crying is the person who makes you cry?. "Every step I took since the moment I could walk was a step toward finding you." You don't want to let go; but it's even more painful to ask someone to stay if you can never make the relationship work out the way it should be. LOVE? It's kind of complicated, but I'll tell you this. The second you're willing to make yourself miserable to make someone else happy, that's love. If I had the letters "HRT", I can add "EA" to get "HEART" or a "U" and get "HURT". But I'd rather choose "U" and get "HURT" than have a "HEART" without "U". Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that he or she will love you back. Don't expect love in return, wait for it to grow in his or her heart. If it doesn't, be contented it grew in yours. It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to fall in love with someone. But it takes a lifetime to really forget someone you have grown to love.
