When you think of your past love, you may view it
as a failure. But when you find a new love, you
view the past as a teacher. In the game of love,
it doesn't really matter who won or who lost.
What is important is you know when to hold on and
when to let go. You know you really love someone
when you want him or her to be happy, even if
their happiness means that you're not part of it.
Everything happens for the best.

If the person you love doesn't love you back,
don't be afraid to love someone else again, for
you'll never know unless you give it a try.
You'll never love a person you love unless you
risk for love. Love strives in hurting. If you
don't get hurt, you don't learn how to love.

Love doesn't hurt all the time. Though the
hurting is still there to test you, it is to help
you grow. Don't find love, let love find you.
That's why it's called falling in love because
you don't force yourself to fall. You just fall.
You cannot finish a book without closing its
chapters. If you want to go on, then you have to
leave the past as you turn the pages.

Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won
by a single caress. It is a lifetime venture in
which we are always learning, discovering and
growing. The greatest irony of love is letting go
when you need to hold on and holding on when you
need to let go. We lose someone we love only when
we are destined to find someone else who can love
us even more than we can love ourselves. On
falling out of love, take some time to heal and
then get beckon the horse. But don't ever make
the same mistake of riding the same one that
threw you the first time.

To love is to risk rejection, to live is to risk
dying, to hope is to risk failure. But risk must
be taken because the greatest hazard in life is
risk nothing! To reach for another is to risk
involvement, to expose your feelings is to expose
true self; to love is to risk not to be loved in
return. How to define love: fall but do not
stumble, be constant but not too persistent,
share and never be unfair, understand and try not
to demand, hurt but never keep the pain.

Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it
can carve wonderful images into the soul that
always last for a lifetime. Love is supposed to
be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire
you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes
the things that give you joy can also hurt you in
the end. Loving people means giving them the
freedom who they choose to be and where they
choose to be. For all the heartaches and the
tears, for gloomy days and fruitless years, you
should give thanks, for you know, that there were
the things that helped you grow.

Loving someone means giving him the freedom to
find his way, whether it leads towards you or
away from you. Love is a painful risk to take but
the risk must be taken no matter how scary or
painful, for only then you'll experience the
fullness of humanity and that is love.

Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with
desire and tear you apart.

Only love can make you cry and only love knows
why. If you're not ready to cry, if you're not
ready to take the risk, if you're not ready to
feel the pain, then you're not ready to fall in
love. There was a time in our lives when we
became afraid to fall in love 'coz every time we
do, we get hurt, and then I figured that's why
it's called falling in love.

.The Writer.

I love standing in the rain, letting the feel of raindrops caress feverish skin, letting it wash away my thoughts, worries and pain. I love the feel of sand between my toes, the cool wind whispering in my ear, the soothing sound of the sea, the warmth of a hug. I love anything vintage, historical, mysterious and magical. I like to laugh, I like freedom and happiness, I like the idea of romance, being swept off my feet and happy endings. I currently have no idea where i'm going but i know i'll get where i'm suppose to be in due time. I want things i cant have, I dream of things that can never be but i'm too afraid to leave the things i'm familiar with even when i know i'm adaptable to change. I can be the person you love or hate, like or loath, admire or envy. I am not perfect,
I am just me.
