Love

I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me.

Love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person.

Love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of.

Love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone.

Love is caring about someone so much that you worry about them when they aren't around.

Love is putting someone else's needs before your own.

Love is feeling weak at the knees and having your heart beat faster when you see the one you love.

Love is so much more than can be expressed in words....

Falling in Love

Falling in love with someone isn't always easy...
Laughter...tears...joy...anger... disappointment...happiness...It's when you want to be together despite it all. That's when you truly love the other person!

Good Parenting

Parents must get across the idea that "I love you always, but sometimes I do not love your behaviour."

Smiling

Smiling always makes you feel better about yourself, even if you don't feel like it. And it always makes other people think better of you!

Strength

Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.

Solitariness

With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.

-Germaine Greer

The Wait

I’ll wait for you to come and find me,
I’ll wait because I know you want me,
I’ve been standing at a distance,
It’s not that I don’t care,
Just that in this instance,
I want to fight fair,
I know that I may be misunderstood,
It’s not that I can’t explain,
I’d just rather wait to be understood,

So I’ll wait, till you come and find me,
I’ll wait, because I know you need time,
I’m using all of my patience,
I won’t even try to fake it,
I know what it’s doing to you,
So I’ll also take it,
I’ll wait till you come and find me,
I’ll wait because I know you want me,

I’m tempted to pick up the phone,
I’m not sure just what to say,
I know that you need time alone,
I’m sure someday you’ll say,
What I’ve always known,
So I’ll wait, for you to come and find me,
I’ll wait because I know you want me,

I know you feel me,
And you so can heal me,
It’s been far too long,
I want to be a part of a world where I belong,
So I’ll wait, till you come and find me,
I’ll wait because I know you want me,

I’m now close enough to taste it,
I can almost embrace it,
I can feel you falling,
I’ll wait until you’re ready,
It’ll take a while until you’re steady,
So I’ll wait till you come and find me,
I’ll wait because I know you want me.

Trust

Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!

Jealousy

He that is not jealous is not in love.

Relationships

The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.

- Hugh Walpole, Sr.

Honesty

Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.
