IS IT LOVE?

Are you palms sweaty, is your heart racing? And your voice caught within your chest?
It isn’t love, it’s LIKE.

You can’t keep your eyes or hands off them, am I right?
It isn’t love, it’s LUST.

Are you proud and eager to show them off?
It isn’t love, it’s LUCK.

Do you want them because you know they’re there?
It isn’t love, it’s LONELINESS.

Are you there just because it’s what everyone wants?
It isn’t love, it’s LOYALTY.

Do you stay for their confessions of love, because you don’t want to hurt them?
It isn’t love, it’s PITY.

Are you willing to give all of your favourite things for their sake?
It isn’t love, it’s CHARITY.

Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand?
It isn’t love, it’s UNCONFIDENCE.

Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?
It isn’t love, it’s FRIENDSHIP.

Do you tell them everyday they are the only one you think of?
It isn’t love, it’s a LIE.

But do you accept their faults because they’re a part of who you are?
And do you see they true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts?
Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret?
Would you give them your heart, your life, your death and stay because a blinding incomprehensible mix of pain and elation pulls you close and holds you?

Then it’s LOVE.

LOVE NEEDS NO REASON

Girl: Why do you love me?
Boy: I don’t know, but I really love you...
Girl: How can you say you love me if you can’t tell me the reason?
Boy: I don’t really know the reason...but I can prove that I love you.
Girl: I don’t want proof...I want you to tell me the reason. My friend's boyfriend can tell her the reason...why cant you?
Boy: Fine...I love you because you're beautiful. I love the way your voice is soft and yet forceful because you're caring and loving. I love you because you're thoughtful. I love how your smile brightens up the room. How you every action is filled with love and kindness. I love you for who you are.

A few days later, the girl was hit by a drunk driver and went into a coma. Sitting by her side in the hospital with tears in his eyes, the boy wrote this letter…

"If it's because of your beauty that I love you, how can I love you if you're covered with cuts and bruises?
If it's because of your sweet voice that I love you, how can I love you if you can’t speak?
If it's because of your caring and thoughtfulness that I love you, how can I love you if you can’t show them?
If it's because of your smile that I love you, how can I love you if I can’t see it?
If love needs a reason, how do I love without a reason?
How can I express why I love you, if no such words exist?
No...I still love you and love needs no reason..."

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, but from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.

TELL HER
Boy: I need someone to talk to.
Girl: I'm always here for you.
Boy: I know.
Girl: What’s wrong then?
Boy: I like her so much.
Girl: Talk to her then.
Boy: I don't know I don't think she would ever like me.
Girl: Don't say that! You’re amazing!
Boy: I just want her to know how I feel.
Girl: Just tell her then.
Boy: She won't like me.
Girl: How do you know that?
Boy: I can just tell.
Girl: Well just tell her how you feel.
Boy: What should I say then?
Girl: Tell her how much you like her.
Boy: I tell her that daily.
Girl: What do you mean?
Boy: I'm always with her. I love her.
Girl: I know how you feel. I have the same problem, but he would never like me.
Boy: Who do you like?
Girl: Some boy, he won't like me.
Boy: Oh, she won't like me either.
Girl: She does.
Boy: How do you know?
Girl: Because who wouldn't like you?!
Boy: You wouldn't.
Girl: You’re wrong, I love you.
Boy: I love you too.
Girl: So are you going to talk to her?
Boy: I just did.

ONLY TIME WILL KNOW
Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love.

One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.

Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness answered, “I’m sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.
Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."
"I can't help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by.
Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you."
Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."
Then, Love saw Happiness.
Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with you."
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling to him. Love began to cry.

Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.

Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"But why did Time help me when no one else would?” Love asked.
Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."
