What is Love? Four letters worth lots of trouble is what it is.
We are all afraid of this word now. Nobody wants to jump in to this love thing. So many people get divorced now because of the misuse of the words I love you.
Once there was a time when you could say it to anybody. The words I love you were as free as water. Especially in the 60's Peace and Love, maybe those were the days when we could say that to anyone. This is not a time to say those words to just about anyone, unless of course is real. There is nothing wrong with the words “I like you” or “I appreciate you.” Why most we use “I love you” right away knowing that once we've said that we form a bond a tie between the person that we “love” and ourselves and then when we least expect it “I love you” turn against you in a form of “I thought you said you loved me”. If you do not mean it sincerely when you said it that is what you will hear when the times is right. As right before your loved one ask you for more than your willing to give. A commitment as marriage can be.
There are so many people afraid of love these days. That is because we tend to tell other people how much we love them without even knowing them.
What happened to getting to know one another for a while? What ever happened to dates and things people did to get to know each other.
Now and days people meet each other one week and two weeks later they are living together and one month later they are expecting a child.
That is not love when people claim to fall in love UN expectedly. That is not love. That is rushing in to disaster and in to a life of forever doubts. A lifetime of asking your self what if we would have taken things slow or what if this person was not the one.
What happens to most people that claim to love too fast is very disappointing; I am not going to say that love does not exist. It does but love is something that takes time. Forever is a long time and Love is build on that.
Love is a lifetime of a whole bunch of memories, a million smiles hundred of thousands of sunsets and billions of conversations. Love is tears of Joy and sadness, love is something that two people make together by first being friends before they become lovers. What is love? This is what love is happiness, sadness, anger, all the good in the world and all the bad, rapped up together with a little attitude. Two people who can handle all of this with patience and persistence towards one another and still live together this is what love is.
The ones, who claim to love too fast, cannot and will not take the pain that loves carry.
They fall in between the odds and percents the ones who did not make it there are plenty of theories when it comes to love. Many opinions many people write about Love or being in love. We all read about this because we are always looking for answers we are interested in the subject of love.
Love is our way to nurture our selves. The fact is that with out love life would be plain and sad. We cannot be in love with a whole bunch of people just with one.
We just have to be specific and sure, of whom we chose to say “I love you” is not like loosing your virginity, you loose your virginity and is gone you will never be a virgin again. Love you can fall in and out of love. Alternatively, if your love dies you can find it again with someone special. There is nothing wrong with loving someone and telling him or her as long as is sincere. From the heart.
After all that is also what love is honesty and sincerity with your self and the people involved in your life.
I think that when love is real even if one day we fall out of love, we should be able to be friends. Just by remembering that once you loved this person for real and this person once loved you. If it was real it would never die. In one way or another you will always love that person.
Love is eternal it might change density but it will never dissolved that is why is very important that when we say “I love you” is because is real. This way we don't have to feel broken and empty if one day is to be over.
Blessings.
