FALLING IN LOVE
It is a mystery why we fall in love. It is a mystery how it
happens. It is a mystery when it comes. It is a mystery why
some love grows and it is a mystery why some love fails.
You can analyze this mystery and look for reasons and
causes, but you will never do anymore that take the life out
of the experience. Just as life itself is more than the sum of
the bones and muscles and electrical impulses in the body,
love is more than the sum of the interests and attractions
and commonalities that two people share. And just as life
itself is a gift that comes and goes in its own time, so too, the
coming of love must be taken as an unfathomable gift that
cannot be questioned in its ways.
Sometimes, hopefully at least once in your life - the gift of
love will come to you in full flower. Take hold of it and
celebrate it in all inexpressible beauty. This is the dream we
all share. More often, it will come and take hold of you,
celebrate you for a brief moment, then move on.
When this happen to young people, they too often try to
grasp the love and hold it to them, refusing to see that it is a
gift that just as freely, moves away. When they fall out of
love, or the person they love feels the spirit of love leaving,
they try desperately to reclaim the love that is lost rather
than accepting the gift for what it was, then moving on.
They want answers where there are no answers. They
want to know what is wrong in them that makes the other
person no longer love them, or try to get their love to change,
thinking that if some small things were different, love would
bloom again. They blame their circumstances and say that if
they go far away and start a new life, their love will grow.
They try anything to give meaning to what has happened. But
there is no meaning beyond the love itself, and until they
accept its own mysterious ways, they live in a sea of misery.
You need to know this about love, and accept it. You need to
treat what it brings you with kindness. If you find yourself in
love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with
yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn't
choose to rest in the other person's heart.
If you find yourself someone in love with you but you don't
love him back, feel honored that love came and called at your
door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not
take advantage; do not cause pain. How you deal with love
is how you deal with yourself. All our hearts feel the same
pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different.
If you fall in love with another, and he falls in love with you,
and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it nor to
assess blame. Let it go. There is a reason and there is a
meaning. You will know in time.
Remember that you don't choose love. Love chooses you. All
you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it
comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing,
then reach out and give it away. Give it back to the person
who brought it alive in you. Give it to others who deem it
poor in spirit. Give it to the world around you in any way you can.
There is where many lovers go wrong. Having been so long
without love, they understand love only as a need. They see
their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love, and
they begin to look at love as something that flows to them
rather than from them.
The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing, but as
their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as a need.
They cease to be someone who generates love and instead
become someone who seeks love. They forget that the
secret of love is that it is a gift, and that it can be made to
grow only by giving it away.
Remember this and keep it to your heart. Love has its time, its
own season, its own reason for coming and going. You
cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into staying. You can
only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it
comes to you. But if it chooses to leave from your heart or
from the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do and
there is nothing you should do. Love always has been and
always will be a mystery. BE GLAD THAT IT CAME TO LIVE
FOR A MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE.
I cant wait till you are in my arms
Precious Gifts
When I think of all the things,
I consider precious in my life,
joy and laughter,
music and rhyme,
passion and tenderness,
peace and patience,
In my heart, I am grateful,
for all these things,
I have because of you.
To Be With You
Of all the ladies I've ever met
You're the one I can't forget
God chose you from all the rest
Because he knew I'd love you best
Some say kissing is a sin
If so how did it begin
Adam kissed Eve, she kissed another
So why the hell can't we kiss each other
If I die and go up there
I'll wait for you by the golden stairs
And if you're not there by judgement day
I'll know you went the other way
I'll give the angels back their wings
Halo and some other things
And just to prove my love is true
I'll go to hell to be with you
My Gift Of Love That Is You
In the still of the night,
I waken from my sleep;
It's then that I remember
Your love is mine forever to keep.
Sometimes I can't believe it;
You seem to good to be true.
But I'll not question this beautiful gift;
The gift of love that is you.
You came into my life
When I was lonely, lost and blue.
You showed me what love was meant to be;
The gift of love that is you.
In the still of the night,
I waken from my sleep;
Almost as if on cue,
And I thank God for my precious gift;
The gift of love that is you.
I love you so much more than words can say;
I'm so very grateful that you love me too;
So thank you from deep inside my heart,
For the gift of love that is you.
Saying Goodnight is the Hardest Thing
Whenever I see you, feel you, touch you
I don't ever want to let go
The joy I have found in life
I want it to go on forever
I get through the empty times
By thinking of every other moment in my life
Power and strength of those experiences
Are far greater than the lonliness
I see our lives as one continuous ray
Like the sun shining from the beginning of time
Once daylight falls and dusk approaches
I know that the dawn will soon follow
As day falls to show to night sky
And the stars shine brightly from above
It gives me time to think about the sun
And how important it is to life
The most difficult thing there is in life
Is the emptiness that sometimes occurs
But it defines how special life is to all of us
The contrast from one extreme to another
Thankful for what life can provide
Grateful for those around who love me
The difference in life are those all around
And seeing how wonderful that is to have
Till A Tear Becomes a Rose
I have to find a way to reach you.
I want you to see, what you mean to me.
I pray to the great wind,
Carry these dreams to her heart.
These are the words etched on my heart:
Everytime you smile, I feel closer to heaven.
Everytime you talk to me I fall deeper.
Every touch, now I'm yours.
Everytime I dream of you.
Just to hold you tight all night,
To take your hand in mine,
And feel your sweet kiss.
I don't have much to give you,
And I'm not much to look at,
But to you I give my tomorrow,
I'll love you forever, that I can do.
If the sun fails to rise,
And the moon falls from the sky;
I promise you my love will still be true.
Till we are together again,
I'll bleed these tears for you;
And wait till a tear becomes a rose.
