Do you Really Know What Love Is?


For those who are skeptical about love, love doesn't come up

wrapped, already made. Love works for all those who work at it. It needs a

twosome for it to work out. Love is something that makes happy things

happier. It is a language just for two, spoken in a world just for two, as

time stands still-just for two. To share love with someone is to know the

fullest meaning of what happiness can be. Love knows no bound, and we

sometimes lose our grasp with reality when we're in love. Unfortunately,

love can make you and it can also break you.

Once we feel love, we find no way to control its selfish desires

even if it means hurting the one closest person to you.

There are no guarantees when it comes to love. Love is like that,

we don't control it, we can only deny or accept it when it's there and the

only way we can measure love is by looking deep down inside our hearts,

then we'll know how much and for how long.

Most of us have the ideal concept of what a perfect relationship

is and when we dive towards this relationship, we get frustrated because

our expectations may never be met. But true love doesn't expect anything

in return. If we only try to be open-minded and understand that we give

love not to gain favor but it is something we share to someone special

because giving it makes us happy.

"""" and other flowery words that will linger to the very core of

our hearts, the thing is, can we take the responsibility and commitment

for our promises? Why do people say I love you but in reality they don't

really understand what is love and how to love.

It is very painful to learn that someone you really love have

someone else besides you! They will make you fall in love completely and

devotedly but later on they will leave you hangin' and in despair, these

are the people who never care at all. I pity those kind of people, they

have a serious problem with themselves. All of us at one time in our lives

have been hurt by those whom we have loved and trusted, they leave us

painfully shattered into pieces, but only when we recognize why love fades

away, can we truly understand the reason why we get hurt.

There are times in our lives that we must experience to live

in pain, a time when it's hard to forget and it hurts to remember. There

is nothing wrong in holding on to the memories of the person we once

loved. They are all part of us. But engaging in a relationship and at the

same time living in the past is unfair. Yesterday must never keep us from

today's reality. We can never forget those whom we have loved. Those people

that gave us something to feel for and brings us the brilliance within

ourselves.

You're not the only one to feel disappointed by love. It

happens to everyone-all of us-beautiful or not, rich or poor, wise or

naive. We all deserve someone, and mysteriously that certain someone makes

him or herself known to us-not always when we need them most but for sure

they will be there. Change is the one constant thing in life-there will

be a time for love and a time for emptiness. No one is exempted from being

left behind, still, no one has to be left behind forever. There's always

room for love in your life with an extra bed for the unexpected guest, sure

as love comes from the most unexpected places where you are the one to figure

I dedicate this to all those who have loved, those who are in love, and to those who are still learning how to love.

I would also like to dedicate this to one I Truly Love
