Love

"It takes three seconds to say I love you,

three minutes to explain it,

three hours to demonstrate it, three days to appreciate it,

and a lifetime to prove it.

The hardest part in loving is when you can

only view the person you love from a distance and

not being able to hold his hand, embrace him tight,

and tell him how much you love him, because to him,

you're only his friend. Watching you from a distance,

afraid to get too close, hoping that you'd realize

who loved you the most.

But unless you open your eyes to the one who's always there,

you'll never realize that I'm the one who cares.

The test of true love is having all the things go wrong but

still having a special way to love

despite all the wrong things that may happen.

Love isn't about becoming somebody else's "perfect person."

It's about finding someone who helps you

become the best person you can be.

Love until it hurts, and when it hurts, love some more.

And when it hurts some more, love even more,

and when it hurts even more, love until it hurts no more.

Love is the extremely difficult realization that someone

other than oneself is real.

You can't make someone love you.

All you can do is be someone who can be loved.

The rest is up to the person to realize your worth.

Love is a commitment, not a feeling. Romance is not love.

If I love you because you're beautiful, that's romance.

But if you're beautiful because I love you, that's love.

Never take love for granted because the best thing

in this world is knowing that you are loved.

So if you have someone special,

hold that person close to your heart.

We lose someone we love only when we are destined

to find someone else who can love us more than we can.

When we are in love, we often doubt that which we most believe.

Love knows no reason, love knows no lies.

Love defies all reasons, love has no eyes.

But love is not blind, love sees but does not mind.

What lips hide, the eyes reveal.

People say "I love you" just for the sake of saying it,

some just for pity, and some because they promised.

When you think real hard, the people who find it so hard

to say are usually the ones who mean it.

Love is everything it's cracked up to be.

It’s worth waiting for, worth being brave for, and you know what?

If you don't risk anything, you risk even more.

What is love?

Those who don't like it call it a responsibility,

those who play with it call it a game,

those who don't have it call it a dream,

and those who love call it a destiny.

In times of darkness, love sees.

In times of silence, love hears.

In times of doubt, love hopes.

In times of sorrow, love heals.

And in all times, love starts within you.

Love is sometimes denied, sometimes lost,

sometimes unrecognized.

But in the end always found with no regrets,

forever valued, kept and treasured.

Whenever, wherever, if you are meant to be for each other,

love will be there.

You don't need to search for love,

love will find you."
