How do you describe something that seems so impossible, yet at the same time gives you hope? It seems too good to be true... but then again, it's too real to be ignored.

It gives you a reason to smile, to be happy...to feel alive. Like a beacon in the dead of the night, it shines forth to illuminate an otherwise dark path, its silvery beams tracing a course to guide you home. It carves a smile when you think about it... and exudes a warm glow that makes you feel sated, content.

It's a persistent ache in your heart that shadows the smile on your face,
It's a longing that is sated momentarily by a flash of a vision.
It's awakening to a pleasant thought that has no end in sight...
It's a restless fall into slumber with the promise of a dream.

Love is easy to say... but it's really a very abstract noun that may take years for one to decipher and understand. Lots of people claim to know and feel love, but few really understand what it's like to really love and be loved in return.

I am no expert either... but to me, love is about acceptance and understanding. It is knowing all about your partner's peculiar quirks, tendencies and bad habits (like maybe the fact he digs his nose in public and you find it cute) and you accept these traits as part of his personality, it's about standing up with him for issues that he believes in... and its about selflessly placing his needs above yours; that's love.

Love does not question, it does not seek anything in return... and above all, its about trust. It's about giving yourself to that person - your time, your patience, and always being there when they need someone to care. It's about forgiveness...and accepting all that they are and all that they can be.

You can deny it as much as you want... but love is here to stay. Smile [:)]

i'm beginning to think that love, although it can exist between family members, doesn't exist between random people. I also think that the problem at the heart of all this controversy is that everyone seems to have his own definition for love, everyone loves in different ways. The real question seems to be if two people can exist if their style of expressing love is different. I'm beginning to think that its a lost cause. too many expectations and failed dreams.

A good friend's words always keep ringing in my ears - 'Expectations are the source of dismay & unhappiness'

Yes, it is difficult to love someone without having expectations!

"True love" is possibly one of the most argumentative subjects that there is...Does true love exist? Well, I have my opinions of that question but my opinions are based on my experience in the subject rather than actual fact and everyone's opinion is correct, to one person at least (themself). Love is definitely not something that you can hold or touch or create from nothing. Love is something that just is. I personally have found myself in situations where I could very firmly argue that love does not exist. Love is just a something that was made to keep us from feeling alone and give those who are alone one last fleeting hope that there is something worth living for. Love is something designed by the human psyche. The media driven personna of love is nothing but the diluted truth if not a complete lie all together. Love is something that has to be experienced for someone to know that it really exists. If you never experience love, then to you, it doesn't exist. In my opinion, true love does exist. I have caught a tiny glimpse of what true love really is a few times in my life and they are experiences that shall never be forgotten and leave me with the absolute knowledge that true love exists, it's just a matter of finding it and being able to control yourself in it and holding on to it. Love is much like the wind: you can't touch it, but you can feel it, you can't see it coming, but if you aren't careful it  carries enough power to take you away. It all boils down to pure and honest faith. If you have faith in the impossible, then it seems probable. I have faith in love, so to me, it exists.

i think that love only comes to those who actually want it, need it and even can sacrifice for each other.
everybody in this world need love. no one can survive without love. love will help to balance your mood.Smile [:)]

Hi,
In fact I don't really agree with you, even if you want it that's doesn't mean you will find it. I'm 26 and I've learnt few years ago that it is not something you want it may come but it is not because you want it that it WILL come. or am I the only one who want it and don't have it????  Crying [:'(]

i've got what u mean Sharann. but don't u agree with me that the first thing to have something is to want it.
first, u have to want it. and then u will look for it. on  the other hand, wanting something is a good motive to do it.
u can't do anything if u don't want it (unless u are forced to do it Smile [:)])


PS: i hope u will find ur partner soon.Wink [;)]
