Love
is
being
happy for the other person
when
they are happy
being
sad for the other person
when
they are sad
being
together in good times
and
being together in bad times
Love
is the source of strength
Love
is
being
honest with yourself at all times
being
honest with the other person at all times
telling,
listening, respecting, the truth
and
never pretending
Love
is the source of reality
Love
is
an
understanding that is complete
that
you feel as if you are part of the other person
accepting
the other person just the way they are
and
not trying to change them to be soemthing else
Love
is the source of unity
Love
is
the
freedom to pursue your own desires
while
sharing your experiences with the other person
the
growth of one individual alongside of
and
together with the growth of another individual
Love
is the source of success
Love
is
the
excitement of planning things together
the
excitement of doing things together
Love
is the source of the future
Love
is
the
fury of the storm
the
calm of the rainbow
Love
is the source of passion
Love
is
giving
and taking in a daily situation
being
patient with each other's needs and desires
Love
is
knowing
that the other person will always be with you
regardless
of what happens
missing
the other person when they are away
but
remaining mear in heart at all times
Love
is the source of security
Love
is the source of life
