Have you ever noticed that the worst way to miss someone is when they are right beside you and yet you can never have them & when the moment you can't feel them under your fingertips you miss them? Have you ever wondered which hurts more; saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing and wished you had? I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say. They are things you are ashamed of because words diminish them, words shrink things that seemed timeless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out Don't be afraid to tell someone you love him. If you do, they might break your heart. If you don't, you might break theirs. Have you ever decided not to be a couple because you were so afraid of losng what you already had with that person? Your heart decides whom it likes & whom it doesn't. You can't tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own when you least suspect it, or even when you don't want it to. Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that other person was too afraid to let you? Too many of us stayed walled because we are too afraid to care too much for fear that the other person does not care as much, or at all. Have you ever loved someone and they had absolutely no idea whatsoever? Or fell for your bestfriend in the entire world, and then sat around and watched him fall for someone else? Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle? We tell lies when we are afraid, afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But everytime we tell a lie the thing we fear grows stronger. Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have, or could have had. No one waits forever...

Too often we don't realize what we have until it's gone. Too often we wait too late to say, "I'm sorry, I was wrong". Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones we hold dearest to our hearts and we allow stupid things to tear our lives apart. Far too many times we let unimportant things get in our mind and by then it's usually too late to see what made us blind. So be sure that you let people know how much they mean to you. Take the time to say the words before your time is through. Be sure that you appreciate every little thing you've got and be thankful for the little things in life that mean a lot.

To say good-bye to yesterday, you must dream about tomorrow. Use the waters of the future to drown away your sorrow. For the past will never live again. Only the memories exist. You can never buy back your yesterdays, no matter how hard you wish.

If only I had learned to speak a little more softly. If only I had learned to listen a little more carefully. If only I had held him a little more often. If only I had tried to be for him what he was for me. Maybe I wouldn't be alone, if only...

Why hold someone back...when you know you don't love them...Why keep them to yourself... when you know you won't wanna have them? Why let them miss other chances...when they can have them? If you really don't love someone...let them go...hurt them now...not later...for a longer
relationship builds stronger emotions...

A good relationship isn't a game you play or an ego trip you take. It is about love and two people. Loving someone can give us the greatest joy we can ever know and it can hurt more than we can believe too. When it does not really hurt when that person did something disappointing to you, but
really hurts when you see that person in pain and sadness, then you know you truly love that person.

Loving someone means you should be ready to experience heartache and happiness at the same time.That's the reward and that's the risk. Unless we are willing to experience it, we will never really know what it's like to love and be loved. Sharing love is probably the most valuable and meaningful experience a person can ever have. And there's a difference between being in love with someone and loving someone.

It's the difference between a love that's fickle, wild and short-lived and one that's tender and passionate, nurturing and lasts a long time. The first is easy. The second, the one that really matters to all of us, takes work because it's about keeping a relationship. Loving someone takes efforts. We have to be able to communicate with each other. Nobody can read anyone else's mind. We always presume that our partner knows what we think and feel. Maybe in time we might be able to
predict or sense each other's thoughts but it's never perfect and takes time to develop.

Getting the chance to love and be loved by someone is blessed. Respect him/her for who he/she is, and not what you want him/her to be. Everyone is pretty and special in his/her own special way. No one is perfect. It is true love which closes the gap of imperfectness to form a smooth surface of acceptance for each other. True love sees and accepts a person for who he/she is. It is also true love which makes a person change for the better. The power of true love to a person is undeniable

A relationship needs commitments too. What is love without commitments from each other anyway? It's like principles and values. Everyone has them but they only mean as much as we are willing to stand for them. The same goes for our commitments to relationships, and the person we love. "Love is like an antique vase. It's hard to find, hard to net, but easy to break." Every day everywhere, people fall in love...but just how many of these relationships are self-sacrificing love, and not just relationships which are formed only for the intense feeling of falling in love?

I know hundreds of friends who say the magical words "I love you"...but more often than not, the truth is just - I am IN love with you. There is a difference between being in love with someone and loving someone. If a person says he/she is in love with you, he/she means that he/she likes you for who you are now and he/she fell in love with you because of the present you. This kind of love is temporary and lasts only as long as the fairy tale lasts. When fairy godmother comes in at midnight
to whirl us back to reality, we see the heartache of such a relationship...where both were only IN love with each other. But if a person says he/she loves you, he/she means that he/she loves you unconditionally for who you are now, who you were in the past and who you might be in the future. When he/she says he/she loves you and really means it, you have to ask yourself if you love him/her too or if you're in love with the idea of being in love.

It is very hard to see the difference through logical thinking. Let your heart guide you.
