Just sharing para sa mga in love.

This is love… 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 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 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, don’t be afraid to love someone else    
again for you’ll never know unless you give it a try. You’ll never learn  
to love a person unless you risk for love.                                
                                                                           
Love strives and hurt you. 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, helping 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 go back to the    
horse. But don’t ever make the 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, to reach for another is to risk involvement. To expose your      
feelings is to expose your true self and to love is to risk not to be     
loved in return. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in    
life is to risk nothing!                                                  
                                                                           
How to define love: fall but do not stumble, be constant but not too      
persistent, share but 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 
also hurt you in the end.                                                 
                                                                           
Loving people means giving them the freedom to choose who they want to be 
and where they choose to be. For all the heartaches and tears, for the    
gloomy days and fruitless years, you should give thanks for knowing that  
there were things that helped you grow. Loving someone means giving him   
the freedom to find his way, whether it leads toward you or away from you.
                                                                           
Love is a painful risk to take but the risk must be taken no matter what, 
how scary or painful, for only then you’ll experience the fullness of     
humanity and that is love. Only love can hurt you 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 become afraid to fall in love, cause
every time we do, we get hurt and it takes time to mend the heart. When   
you decide to love, allow it to grow and when you promised to love, never 
let it die.                                                               
                                                                           
You know, I am once confused about love, but then after some time, I      
realized the real meaning of love and now I can say that it is really a   
very mysterious thing. You see, if you find yourself in love with someone 
who does not love you, be gentle to yourself. There is nothing wrong with 
you; love just didn’t choose to rest in the other person’s heart. If you  
find someone else in love with you and you don’t love him, 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 another, and if someone falls in love with you, 
then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or assess blame, let 
it go. There is a reason and there’s a meaning. You will know in time. You
cannot choose love, but love chooses you. All you can 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 the world around you in anyway you
can. That is where many lovers go wrong. Being mean so long without love, 
they understand only love 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 forgot 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 in you heart: Love has its own time, its  
own seasons and its own reason for coming and going. You cannot bribe it  
neither coerce it nor 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 your lover’s heart, 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 it came to live for a moment in your life.
