PAST LOVE

When you think of your past love, you may
view it as a failure. But when you find a new
love, you view the past as a teacher. In the
game of love, it doesn't really matter who won
or who lost. What is important is you know
when to hold on and when to let go! You
know when you love someone when you
want him to be happy even if his happiness
means that you're not part of it. Everything
happens for the best. If the person you love
doesn't love you back, don't be afraid to love
someone else again, for you'll never know
unless you give it a try. You'll never love a
person you love unless you risk for love. Love
strives in hurting. If you don't get hurt, you
don't learn how to love. Love doesn't hurt all
the time, though the hurting is still there to
test you, to help you grow. Don't find love, let
love find you. That's why it's called falling in
love because you don't force yourself to fall.
You just fall. You cannot finish a book without
closing its chapters. If you want to go on, then
you have to leave the past as you turn the
pages. Love is not destroyed by a single
failure or won by a single caress. It is a
lifetime venture in which we are always
learning, discovering, and growing. The
greatest irony of love is letting go when you
need to hold on and holding on when you
need to let go. We lose someone we love
only when we are destined to find someone
else who can love us even more than we can
love ourselves. On falling out of love, take
some time to heal and then get back on the
horse. But don't ever make the mistake of
riding the same one that threw you the first
time. To love is to risk rejections, to live is to
risk dying, to hope is to risk failure. But risk
must be taken because the greatest hazard
in life is to risk nothing! To reach for another
is to risk involvement, to expose your feelings
is to risk your true self, to love is to risk not to
be loved in return. How to love: fall but do not
stumble, be constant but not too persistent,
share and never be unfair, understand and
try not to demand, hurt but never keep the
pain. Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart
or it can carve wonderful images into the soul
that always last for a lifetime. Love is
supposed to be the most wonderful feeling. It
should inspire you and give you joy and
strength. But sometimes the things that give
you joy can also hurt you in the end. Loving
people means giving them the freedom who
they choose to be and where they choose to
be. For all the heartaches and the tears, for
gloomy days and fruitless years, you should
give thanks. Those were the things that
helped you grow. Loving someone means
giving him the freedom to find his way,
whether it leads towards you or away from
you. Love is a big risk to take but the risk
must be taken no matter how scary or
painful, for only then you'll experience the
fullness of humanity and that is love. Only
love can fill you with desire and tear you
apart. Only love can make you cry and only
love knows why. If you're not ready to cry, if
you're not ready to take the risk, if you're not
ready to feel the pain, then you're not ready to
fall in love. There's a time in our lives when
we become afraid to love coz every time we
do, we get hurt, then I figured that's why it's
called falling in love. When you decide to
love, allow it to grow. When you promise to
love, Refuse to let it die!
