LOVE THOUGHTS

The beginning of love, is to let thosewe love be perfectly themselves and nottwist them with our own image --otherwise, we love only the reflectionof ourselves we find in them? Thehappiest people don't necessarily havethe best of every-thing...they justmake the most out of everything thatcomes their way.The best kind of friend is the one youcan sit on a porch with, never saying aword and then walk away, feeling likethat was the best conversation you'vehad.Don't go for looks -- it can deceive.Don't go for money -- even wealth fadesaway.Go for someone who makes you smile,because only a smile makes a dark dayseem bright. Happiness lies for thosewho cry, those who hurt, those who havesearched and those who have tried. Foronly they can appreciate the importanceof the people who have touched theirlives.Love is when you take away the feeling,the passion and the romance... and youfind out you still care for thatperson. Love comes to those who stillhope even though they've beendisappointed, those who still believe,even though they have been betrayed andthose who still love even thoughthey've been hurt before. Maybe Godwants us to meet a few wrong people,before meeting the right one, so thatwhen we finally meet the right person,we should know how to be grateful forthat gift. It hurts to love someone andnot be loved in return. But, what isthe most painful is to love someone andnever find the courage to let theperson know how you feel. The brightestfuture will always be based on aforgotten past ... you can't go on inlife until you let go of your pastfailures and heartaches.Giving someone all your love is neveran assurance that they'll love youback! Don't expect love in return, justwait for it to grow in Their hearts.But, if it doesn't, be content it grewin yours. There are things that youwould love to hear, but you never hearit from the person you want to. Don'tbe deaf to hear it from the person whosays it with their heart.When you were born, you were crying andeveryone around you was smiling. Liveyour life so that when you die, you aresmiling and everyone around you iscrying.When one door of happiness closes,another opens. But often we look solong at the closed door, that we don'tsee the one which has just been openedfor us.Always put yourself in the other'sshoes. If you feel that it hurts you,it probably hurts the other person,too. A sad thing about life is when youmeet someone who means a lot to you ...only to find out in the end, that itwas never meant to be and you just haveto let go.It takes a minute to have a crush onsomeone ... an hour to like someone...aday to love someone...but it takes alifetime to forget someone.Love starts with a smile, develops witha kiss and ends with a tear.
