somethings about 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’s
important is you know when to hold on and when to let go. You know you
really love someone when you want him or her to be happy, even if their
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 the 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 you all the time. Though 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. 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 sometime to heal and then get back on the horse. But don’t
ever make the same 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 risk
nothing. To reach for another is to risk involvement, to expose your
feelings is to expose true self. To love is to risk not to be loved in
return.
How to define LOVE: fall but do not stumble, be constant but not too
persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and not to demand, hurt
but never keep the pain.
Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it carves 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 whom 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, for you know, that
there 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 painful 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 hurt your heart, fill you with desire and tear you apart.
Only love can make you cry and only love knows why.
When you decide to love, allow it to grow.
When you promise to love, refuse to let it die.
