tulipisblooming: How Does It Feel To Love & To Be Loved???

"Love is patient, Love is kind, Love is not jealous, is not proud.
Is not puffed up, It does not behave badly.

Love does not easily get angry, It does not think evil.
Love does not rejoice in iniquity, But rejoices in the truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things. Hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never Fails."

When someone knows your weakness

But loves you anyway

And they will always be there for you

Each and every day

When someone will stop and listen

When you're feeling low

When someone cares so very much,

So much to let you go
When someone is willing to do without

So your life is complete

And they will give you courage

When you have faced defeat
When someone is this special,

You know they're from above

And there's a place within your heart

Filled with special love
Thank you for everything

I hope these words convey

The love I feel for you

Each and every day.

L.O.V.E. The 4 letter words has many different meanings, from something that gives a little pleasure ("I loved that meal") to something one would die for (ideals, family). It can describe an intense feeling of affection, an emotion or an emotional state.There're many kinds of love. There are many combinations, all of which form some kind of love. Is there passion and friendship but very little commitment? This is defined as "passionate love." Are you committed but feel no passion or friendship? This is called "empty love." What most people ultimately desire, is "TRUE LOVE" the total package: passion, intimacy, friendship and commitment in one healthy relationship. It's the most fulfilling love. It is unconditional, and in my opinion the only "CHOICE". Different people place varying degrees of importance on the kinds of love they receive. According to many philosophers, the only goal of life is to be happy. And there is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved. Love is essentially an abstract concept, much easier to experience than to explain.

A Definition of Love
by John Wright

Love is unique, wonderful and kind

Its what keeps us going when nothings by our side

From soldiers on the battlefield

To children sitting here at school

Love is the power

An everlasting toolLove is undefeated

The heavyweight champ

Nothing can defeat it

Cause it cant be knocked down

Many do impersonate it

Like infatuation and lust

But only one is love

How marvelous to us

Some of us are sure of it

And some have our doubts

But no matter what

It always helps us out

Its by our side all our life

And in our hearts and minds

The only thing different

Is how we spend the time

Some of us love people, animals, or earth

Some of us love hatred, bloodshed, and cruelty

Love can be evil, innocent, or mild

Whatever it is?

Love is one of a kind

Love isn't always an easy road to traverse when two persons are involves. It is sometimes the cause of one of the sharpest growing pains that most of us have to experience. Love is the most powerful human lesson you are ever to learn. It is a purposeful interdependence through which you become so much more than on your own. Once you can understand that love is not something to be found, rather it is in you to be shared, you can love wholeheartedly without fear. Don’t turn your back on love every time it touches you, because when you give up on love you give up on yourself.

"Love wasn't put in the heart to stay, for love isn't love 'till you give it away."

Just because you feel love doesn't mean the other person does! You should know the difference between love, infatuition and lust. Give it time. Love takes root slowly and grows with time. Infatuation grows into full bloom almost immediately. Love is not about giving or receiving gifts but about sharing each other’s feelings and letting each other know how much you really care. You need to be romantic, creative, and unique. The best way to show someone you really care is by words and how your actions make them feel special. You need to say something coming from the heart and show them from your soul. Love them for who they are and not for who you are.

"Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules. Then you must learn to play from the heart."

Rules to love & to be loved;

1. To truly love is to give and expect nothing in return. This makes it a giving - giving relationship when both think this way.
2. Do not be afraid to give and show your love, understand and respect each other's feelings and emotions. Remember our hearts are fragile and feel everything.
3. Don't end it if they don't say it back. Nothing says both parties fall in love at the same time, continue to love them and when it's right for them, they'll say it back.
4. Do not change yourself just to please the one you love, it will only make you feel used. And if the one you love cannot love you for who you are, maybe he wasn't the one meant for you.

"Love is like a butterfly, hold it too tight and it'll crush, hold it too loose and it'll fly away."

Finding your own happiness starts and ends with you. Love can make you happy, or it can cause you pain. Loving someone that loves you back is the goal of every relationship. Never take for granted that love is understood. Show and tell the people you care about exactly how you feel. Sometimes the ones you care most for are the ones you neglect the most. It's easy to forget about the feelings and aspirations of those closest to you as you move around them daily and sometimes take them for granted. Appreciation of their presence in your life is always something worth stopping for, to take the time to reflect over and will rejuvenate the strength of your relationships.
