I never really understood why love hurt so much when it's supposed to be such a wonderful feeling. Then again I'm young and maybe don't understand what love is really about. I always thought love was something shared between two people who cared deeply about each other, no matter what obstacles were thrown in their way. The love that they had for each other never faltered because they were committed to one another. They shared their joys and sorrows with one another. If something came along they didn't agree upon they worked it out. Even when things were at their worse, their love surpassed all else.
Love isn't easy, it's something to be worked on through communication and honesty. It's the same with trust it doesn't happen overnight. An when you lose trust in someone or something it's not easy to gain it back. You wonder where do you begin? How do you even gain it back? What sort of things need to be done?
Nobody ever said love was easy, if anything it's the most complexed and confusing thing in the world. Think about it if you love someone why do you always end up hurting them, one way or another. I mean your supposed to love another as you would love yourself. No less, no more. The person you love is supposed to be treated as your equal. Someone you can see yourself with in the future and makes you happy. A person you have things in common with, again your equal.
Love is about honesty, trust, faithfulness, co-operation and most of all commitment. Love is all those things combined, not just a few, all of them. Communication can help you achieve all of those things. If you can't communicate with the one you love then you have nothing. Love isn't one sided, it's a joint or combined feeling between two people. Both persons have to be willing to give the relationship their all. Each must contribute ideas on how to improve the relationship. Love isn't about blaming the other when something goes wrong. It's about sitting down together and working through it.
As the bible says....
Love is patient, love is kind, love is not envious or boastful, or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on it's own way; it's not irritable or resentful, it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
1 Corinthians Chapter 13 verse 4-8
Here I stand hidden within the shadows
Eyes watching your every move, desire for you burning within
With each blink of an eye I see your smiling face
Steadily my heart beats as I think of your loving embrace
Thoughts of nights we might share together race through my mind
Dancing beneath a starlit night not a soul but us in sight
Oh how the gentle caress of your fingertips would send shivers through me
The thought of a simple kiss shared in the rain is enough to send my heart racing
Wisps of hair blowing in the gentle breeze as the rain falls down around us
Creating a memory that we will never forget and always cherish
Yet I'm captured in a mere day dream of passionate bliss
Often I find myself wondering if I've ever crossed your mind
Wishing, hoping each night that the answer was yes
Perhaps you were imagining a place that consisted of just you and me
Our own little private fantasy, our escape from reality
Completely trusting you with my heart and soul
Closing my eyes, learning to listen with my heart and nothing else
You taking my hand, placing it over your heart
Feeling the gentle rhythm as it's beating beneath my fingertips
Listening closely as you whisper softly in my ear
Telling me that your heart beats for me and me alone
Yet we're captured in a mere day dream
Maybe someday we'll be together standing face to face
Looking into each others eyes, straight to the depths of our souls
Each wondering what the other might see
Will we see love and compassion reflecting there for each other
Or all the sorrow and heart ache from past loves that each has endured
All we know for sure is that in this world full of people, we both feel alone
So many lonely nights we each have shared alone
Wondering whether true love existed for us
Thinking that we were meant to be alone
Praying to God that we weren't
Both of us in search for that one special person
Who can light up our lives and make us feel whole
The person we desired is one who can make us smile and laugh
Sticking around through not only good times, but the bad,
who knew us inside and out in a sense completing us
Our paths may cross, we will become friends, maybe even fall in love
There will be no more lonely nights
No more wondering if true love exists
No more thinking we are meant to be alone
Instead of praying to God we will be thanking him for bringing us together
Now we would have found our one true loves
In each others arms is where we will be
Together forever and in each others hearts
Our love for each other seeing us through
Letting nothing get in the way of our love
Building a stronger bond between us with each passing day
Taking on the world side by side, hand in hand
Our hearts beating together as one
Living the life we were meant to live, fulfilling our destiny
Making our mere day dream into a reality made for two
