This and that about that thing called love


Throughout my years, I've heard people say how protective they were of themselves so not to fall in love. That love, no matter how strong and how true it could be, would only end up hurting them in the end.

Love is beautiful and it does hurt, but the pain from love is just as beautiful.

Loneliness hurts and is not beautiful.
Rejection hurts and is not beautiful.
Losing someone hurts and is not beautiful.
Envy hurts and is not beautiful.

The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love someone else.

As human beings, we're given two hands to hold, two legs to walk, two eyes to see and two ears to hear. But we're given just one heart. Ever wonder why? Because the other was given to someone else for us to find.

If you love something, let it go. If it returns, it'll be yours forever. If it doesn't, it was never truly love.

The best thing about me...is you.

If you love someone, you're willing to give up everything for them. If they love you back, they will never ask you to do that.

The pleasures of love last mere moments. Heartbreak lasts a lifetime.

I destroy every relationship that I'm in so I don't get hurt. By doing this, I feel guarded and safe, but I'm really hurting myself more in the long run.

I laugh. I love. I hope. I try. I hurt. I need. I fear. I cry. And I know you do the same things. So we're really not that different, you and I.

I get the best feeling in the world when you say 'hi" or even smile at me because I know, even if it were just for a second, I was on your mind.

LOVE: We think about it, sing about it, dream about it and loose sleep worrying about it. When we don't have it, we search for it. When we discover it, we don't know what to do with it. When we have it, we fear loosing it. It is a constant source of pleasure and pain. But we don't know which it will be from one moment to the next. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define and impossible to live without.

If hate is such a strong word...why do we toss 'love' around like it isn't?

I'm nothing special, of this I am sure. I'm just a common man with common thoughts. There will be no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten after I've passed. But I've loved with all my heart and soul, and to me, that has always been enough.

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."---Mother Theresa
