It is a mystery why we fall in love.
It is a mystery how it happens.
It is a mystery when it comes.
It is a mystery why some love grows and
it is a mystery why some love fails.
You can analyze this mystery and look for reasons
and causes,
but you will never do anymore than take the life
out of the experience.
Just as life itself is more than the sum
of the bones and muscles and
electrical impulses in the body, love is more
than the sum of interests
and attractions and commonalities that
two people share.
And just as life itself is a gift that
comes and goes in its own time,
so too, the coming of love must be taken as an
unfathomable gift that
cannot be questioned in its ways.
Sometimes, hopefully at least once in your life
--
the gift of love will come to you in full flower,
and you will take hold of it and celebrate it
in all inexpressible beauty.
This is the dream we all share.
More often, it will come and take hold of you,
celebrate you for a brief moment, then move on.
When this happen to young people, they often
try to grasp the love
and hold it to them, refusing to see that it
is a gift that is freely given
and a gift that just as freely moves away.
When they fall out of love, or the person
they love feels the spirit of
love leaving,they try to desperately reclaim
the love that is lost
rather than accepting the gift for what it was,
then moving on.
They want answers where there are no answers.
They want to know what is wrong in them that
makes the other person
no longer love them, or they try to get
their lover to change,
thinking that if some small things were different,
love would bloom again.
They blame their circumstances and say
that if they go far away
and start a new life together, their love will
grow.
They try anything to give meaning to what has
happened.
But there is no meaning beyond the love itself,
and until they accept its own mysterious
ways,
they live in a sea of mystery.
You need to know about this love and to accept
it.
You need to treat what it brings you with kindness.
The first blush of new love is filled with overflowing,
but as their love cools,they revert to seeing
their love as a need.
They cease to be someone who generates
love and
instead becomes someone who seeks love.
They forget that the secret of love is that it
is a gift,
and that it can be made to grow only by
giving it away.
Remember this and keep it to your heart.
Love always had been and always will be a mystery.
Be glad that it came to live for
a moment in ur life.
If u keep ur heart open it will come
again.
Failure is only the opportunity to begin again
more intelligently.
IF YOU KEEP YOUR HEART OPEN IT WILL COME AGAIN.
