LOVE
LOVE
It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel, then regret it. May be God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift? Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in relationship – and find out that you still care for that person. A sad thing in life you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was not meant to be, and you just have to let go. When the door of happiness is closes, another opens, but oftentimes we look so long on the closed door that we do not see the one, which has opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind whom you sit on the porch and swing with; never say a word, and then walk away the feeling like the best conversation you ever had. It is true that we do not know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is not an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; just wait until it grows in their hearts. But if it does not, be contented that it grew in yours. There are things you would like to hear that you would never hear from the person whom you would like to hear them from, but do not be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from his heart. Never say goodbye if you still want to try. Never give up if you feel you can go on. Never say you do not love a person anymore if you cannot let go. Love come to those who still hope although they have been disappointed, to those who still believe although they have been betrayed, to those who still love although they have been hurt before. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone. But it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Do not go for looks for they can deceive, do not go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who can make smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Hope you dream for special someone. Dream what you want to dream. Go where you want to go. Be what you can be. Because you have only one life and only one chance to do all the things you want. May be you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy. Always put yourself in other’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck a life. A timely word may level stress. A loving word may heal and bless. The beginning of love is to let those we love just be themselves and not to twist them in our own image. Otherwise, we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who were hurt, those who searched, and those who have tried for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on forgotten past. You can’t go on well in life until you go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying, and everybody around you is smiling. Live lie so that when you die, you’re the one smiling, and everyone around you is crying.
