LOVE

~~~[What is Love?]~~~ [Love is...]~~~[Pictures] ~~~ [Evaluation of Love] ~~~ [Versions of Love] ~~~ [a Love Story] ~~~[Love Reasoning]~~~

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you

2. No man is worth your tears, and the one who is won't make you cry.

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

4. They say love hides behind every corner, then I must be walking in circles.

5. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

6. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them, knowing you can't have them.

7. Never frown, even when you're sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

8. To the world you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world.

9. Don't waste your time on someone who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

10. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the       right person, we will know how to feel grateful.

11. Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened.

12. There's always going to be people that hurt you, so what you have to do is to keep on trusting and just be more careful   about who you trust the next time around.

13. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

14. Don't try so hard; the best things come when you least expect them to.

Love is like a butterfly, chase it and it will run, pay no attention to it and it will sit softly on your shoulder.

For they say Cupid is blind, and therefore love is blind.

LOVE  is...

Love is always patient and kind
it is never jealous
Love is never boastful or conceited
It is never rude or selfish
It does not take offence
And is not resentful
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples faults
But delights in the truth
It is always ready to excuse
to trust, to hope
It is always ready to endure whatever comes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
when you've had a huge fight 
but then decide to put aside your egos,
hold hands and say, "I Love You"

Evaluation of love
Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing and is
your voice caught within your chest??

It isn't love, it's LIKE.

You can't keep your eyes or hands off of her, am I
right??

-It isn't love, it's LUST.

Are you proud, and eager to show her off??

-It isn't love, it's LUCK.


Do you want her because you know she's there??

-It isn't love, it's LONELINESS.
 

Are you with her because it's what everyone wants??

-It isn't love, it's LOYALTY.


Are you with her because she kissed you, or held your hand?

-It isn't love, it's LOW CONFIDENCE.


Do you stay for her confessions of love, because
you don't want to hurt her?

-It isn't love, it's PITY.


Do you belong to her because the sight of her
makes your heart skip a beat??

-It isn't love, it's INFATUATION.


Do you pardon her faults because you care about her?

-It isn't love, it's FRIENDSHIP.
 

Do you tell her every day she is the only one you think of?

Do you cry for her pain, even when she's strong?

-Then it's LOVE.


Do her eyes see your true heart, and touch your
soul so deeply it hurts

-Then it's LOVE.


Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible
mix of pain and relation pulls you close and holds you to her?

-Then it's LOVE.


Do you accept her faults because it's a part of
who she is?

-Then it's LOVE.


Are you attracted to others, but stay with her
faithfully without regret?

-Then it's LOVE.

Would you give her your heart, your life, your
death??

-Then it's LOVE.

Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so, why
do we love?
 

Why is it all we search for in life? This pain,
this agony?

Why is it all we long for? This torture, this
powerful death of self?

Why?

The answer is so simple cause it's...LOVE.

It is such an addictive thing that even people who
are not having it
 SINGLE
> Versions of Love >>>
Love is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.

But if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you
least expect it. Love can make you happy but often it hurts, but
love's only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it.
So take your time and choose the best.
 

 To My Friends Who Are............NOT SO SINGLE

Love isn't about becoming somebody else's "perfect person."
It's about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.
 

To My Friends Who Are............PLAYBOY/GIRL TYPE

Never say "I love you" if you don't care. Never talk about
feelings if they aren't there. Never touch a life if you mean to break a heart.
Never look in the eye when all you do is lie.

The cruelest thing a guy can do to a girl is to let her fall in love when he doesn't
intend to catch her fall and it works both ways...
 

To My Friends Who Are............MARRIED

Love is not about "it's your fault", but "I'm sorry."
Not
"where are you", but "I'm right here." Not "how could you", but "I
understand." Not "I wish you were", but "I'm thankful you are."
 

To My Friends Who Are............ENGAGED

The true measure of compatibility is not the years spent
together but how good you are for each other.
 

To My Friends Who Are............HEARTBROKEN

Heartbreaks last as long as you want and cut as deep as
you allow them to go. The challenge is not how to survive
heartbreaks but to learn from them.
 

To My Friends Who Are............NAIVE

How to be in love: Fall but don't stumble, be consistent
but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and
try not to demand, and get hurt but never keep the pain.
 

To My Friends Who Are............POSSESSIVE
It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with
someone else but it's more painful to know that the one you love
is unhappy with you.
 

To My Friends Who Are............AFRAID TO CONFESS

Love hurts when you break up with someone. It hurts even
more when someone breaks up with you. But love hurts the most when
the person you love has no idea how you feel.
 

To My Friends Who Are............STILL HOLDING ON

A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall
in love, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be
and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it. If he
isn't worth it now he's not going to be worth it a year or 10 years from now.
Let go.....
 

TO ALL MY FRIENDS.......
My wish for you is a man/women whose love is honest,
strong, mature, never-changing, uplifting, protective, encouraging,
rewarding and unselfish.

Interesting Story( as Fwd from a friend)

Love....

            If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love
you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just
            didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart.

            If you find someone else in love with you and you don't love
him/her, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but
            gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not take
advantage, do not cause pain. How you deal with love is how you deal with
you and
            all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives
and ways are different.

            If you fall in love with another and he/she falls in love with
you and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or to
            assess blame. Let it go. There is a reason and a meaning. You
will know in time.

            Remember that you don't choose love. Love chooses you. All you
can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into
your life.

            Feel the way it fills you to overflowing then reach out and
give it away. Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you. Give
            it to others who deem it poor in spirit. Give it to the world
around you in anyway you can.

            This is where many lovers go wrong. Having been so long
without love, they understand love only as a need. They see their hearts as
            empty places that will be filled by love, and they begin to
look at love as something that flows to them rather than from them.

            The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing but as
their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as need. They cease to
            be someone who generates love and instead become 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 has its own time, its own seasons and its own reason for
coming and going.
            You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into staying.
            You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when
it comes to you.

            But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of
your lover, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you
should do...

            Love always has been and always will be a mystery.
            Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.

            IF YOU KEEP YOUR HEART OPEN, IT WILL COME AGAIN!
           

"Yesterday is gone.
Tomorrow has not yet come.
We have only today.
Let us begin."

Love reasoning!

Don't be too caring, i might like you...
Don't be too good, i might miss you...
Don't be too sweet, i might fall for you...
It's hard for me to love you when you won't love me after all...

Bottom Line : A person who makes you love her, is actually a person who loves you more than you love her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If someone comes into your life and becomes a part of you but for some reasons, she couldn't stay, don't cry too much... Just be glad, your paths crossed and somehow she made you happy even for a while...

Bottom Line : Time will tell. If she is yours, she will surely come back...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't throw your back to love when it's already in front of you. Don't drive it away from you because if you do, someday you'll think back why you let love fly away when it was once residing next to you.

Bottom Line : Treasure the one who loves you! It's not easy to find a person who loves you. It's always more valuable to have a sincere heart...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The greatest regrets in our lives are the risks we did not take. If you think something will make you happy, GO FOR IT! Remember that we pass this way only once...

Bottom Line : Time doesn't wait.If you think you might have found the one, treasure the person. Don't let the person get away. Don't let fear hold you back. Give it a try or you might regret later...It might work...
"No one other than ourselves know what can truly make us happy..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Two tear drops were floating down the river. One tear drop said to the other, "I'm the tear drop of a girl who loved a man and lost him... Who are you?"
"I'm the tear drop of a man who regrets letting a girl go..."

Bottom Line : Nobody will sympathize with a person who constantly lets chances pass by without making any efforts to salvage them. We normally don't realise how important our loved and closed ones are until they leave us, and then we start regreting, which results in misery. Lost time is NEVER gained again.
Even IMPOSSIBLE says I-M-POSSIBLE!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself."
