It hurts to love and not be loved in return.
But,
lt hurts more to love and never find the courage to express your feelings.
Love hurts when you remove the feeling, passion and romance in a relationship,
yet discover you still care for that person.
It hurts more when someone loved is needed,
someone who means a lot;
someone who matters most.
Only to discover that you were never meant for each other;
and you've to let go.
At the closure of the door of happiness,
another opens.
Though often we tarry at the closed doors;
that we don't see the one opened for us.
The best love of friends is the one you'll be with,
never say a word;
then walk away feeling the best conversation ever.
We don't know what love we're missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love
is never an assurance of love in return,
let love grow in their heart;
though it doesn't.
Be content it grew in yours.
There abounds words you love to hear,
but
never would hear them from the person you expected.
Be not deaf never to hear those words,
from the one who says it from their heart.
Never say goodbye,
if you can still try.
Never give up,
if you can still go on.
Love comes to those who still hope,
though were disappointed.
To those who still believe,
though were betrayed.
To those who still need to love,
though were hurt before.
To those who have courage and faith to build trust and relationship again.
It takes a minute to get a crush on someone.
An hour to like someone.
A day to love someone,
but
it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks,
they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth,
it fades away.
Don't go for fame,
it passes with time.
Go for character and charisma,
go for content not container,
go for love not lust.
Go for quality not quantity.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because
it takes a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Go for someone who values you,
who makes you feel secured.
Hope you find that someone that makes you smile.
It is not always every one you love that you would be with, maybe becuase you are not designed for each other.
Nevertheless,keep believing in love.
I feel your hand in my hand and your heart on my chest
And the only thoughts I think are thoughts of you
And I think your hugs and kisses are the best
And the words that come from my mouth are only true.
Staring at the halo of passing lights,
Painting the walls I stare as I lay in bed,
It is not sleeplessness that keeps me awake,
It is the lack of your presence,
Like a child carefree in a mother's embrace,
Like a lover's comforting arms after a tiring day,
I thought tonight may be it would be nice,
To fall asleep with your arms around me,
So if I ever woke up in the middle of the night,
I could look up to find you beside me,
Lean in a little closer so you won't go,
Drift in to sleep without a thought for tomorrow.
It is kind of a happy thought, just no one I can write it to
My half of the world was in darkness when your’s was in light,
A straight mass of land separated us,
The Earth understood and bent under me to where you reside.
So many people here, only one I needed,
Only you I wanted, your memory I got,
And the knowledge of half a planet’s distance,
Because that’s how far you are.
We talked in silence,
We talked of memories,
Of how it felt when yours touched my skin,
We promised we would never fall apart,
Yet somehow,
The distances and spaces between grew to a whole life.
we stare inwardly, fragile
under the fragile moon,
your eyes like glass.
I'll heave another sigh
and I'll go home in one piece,
leaving you solitary
                                 again.

You* said, “Limitless.”
And I let you fall
As it was senseless
When I had felt all

And

I was nonchalant
Erasing which words
Weren’t radiant
Within these records

We weren’t enough
Did you notice too?
The pretense in love–
An apparent clue

*End
What spell is this I've fallen into, maybe a dream is all it is
As today passes, what I feel may go away, its power over me a memory past
When tomorrow comes I will awake to a freedom within my heart that only I will know
A freedom something I think I would rather not to last

What can I do, how do I give in as I fall for this longing taking hold
The sweetest of all dreams that I may ever know
And I wander aimlessly to this call, to this dream, this nameless thing
Never looking back, onward through life and dreams I gladly go

Drawn with every breath I take to pay heed to its call to its hold
Were I to give into its want, embrace it with all I am and all I  have
Give my heart freely and without regret, offer it for all it is
Become a part of this dream of this day, give it my heart to save

I have wandered around this thing much too long I finally see
It's there to guide me, to show me, to keep me in its throes
Capture my heart, place it with the one who truly cares
Allow this thing called love, gather it from someone who knows

And there she is, as sweet as my dreams allowed her to be
Surely an angel without wings, and all that love could ever be
What would hold me now to this mystery of my heart I've found
Is the love within this dream, my heart, that fell from her heart to me
Thoughts flutter through my mind
and nest in the holes of my memory
I don't get to choose where they go
but whether or not I find them
