About Love, True Love

Back

  A good relationship isn't a game you play or an ego trip you
  take. It is about love and two people. Loving someone can 
  give us the greatest joy we can ever know and it can hurt more
  than we can believe too. When it does not really hurt when 
  that person did something disappointing to you, but really 
  hurts when you see that person in pain and sadness, then you 
  know you truly love that person.

  Loving someone means you should be ready to experience 
  heartache and  happiness at  the same time. That's the reward
  and that's the risk.

  Unless
  we are willing to experience it, we will never really know what
  it's like to love and be loved. Sharing love is probably the most 
  valuable and meaningful experience a person can ever have. 
  And there's a difference between being in love with someone
  and loving someone.
  It's the difference between a love that's fickle, wild and
  short-lived and one that's tender and passionate, nurturing and 
  lasts a long time. 
  The first is easy.
  The second, the one that really matters to all of us, takes work-
  because it's about keeping a relationship.

  Loving someone takes efforts. We have to be able to communicate
  with each other. Nobody can read anyone else's mind. We always
  presume that our partner knows what we think and feel. Maybe 
  in time we might be able to predict or sense each other's thoughts 
  but it's never perfect and takes time to develop. Getting the
  chance to love and be loved by someone is blessed.

  Respect him/her for who he/she is, and not what you want him/her
  to be. Everyone is pretty and special in his/her own special way.
  No one is perfect. It is true love which closes the gap of
  imperfectness to form a smooth surface of acceptance for each 
  other. 
  True love sees and accepts a person for who he/she is. It is also 
  true love which makes a person change for the better.
  The power of true love to a person is undeniable.

  A relationship needs commitments too. 
  What is love without commitments  from each other anyway? 
  It's like principles and values. Everyone has them but they only
  mean as much as we are willing to stand for them. 
  The same goes for our commitments to  relationships, and the 
  person we love.

  "Love is like an antique vase. It's hard to find, hard to get, but 
  easy to break."

  Everyday everywhere, people fall in love ... but just how many 
  of these relationships are self-sacrificing love, and not just 
  relationships  which are formed only for the intense feeling of
  falling in love? I know hundreds of friends who say the magical 
  words "I love you" ... 
  but more often than not, the truth is just-I am IN love with you. 
  There is a difference between being in love with someone and 
  loving someone.
  If a person says he/she is in love with you, he/she means that 
  he/shelikes you for who you are now and he/she fell in love with
  you because of the present you. This kind of love is temporary 
  and lasts only as long as  the fairytale lasts. When fairy godmother
  comes in at midnight to whirl us back to reality, we see the
  heartache of such a relationship ... where both were only IN love
  with each other. But if a person says he/she loves  you,he/she 
  means that he/she loves you unconditionally for who you are now, 
  who you were in the past and who you might be in the  future. 
  When he/she says he/she loves you and really means it, you have 
  to ask yourself if you love him/her too or if you're in love with the
  idea of being in love. It is very hard to see the difference through
   logical thinking.

  Let your heart guide u.

  May you be blessed on your soul-searching journey for your soulmate.
