“At best, love is simply the
slipping of a hand in another's, of knowing you are where you belong at last,
and of exchanging through the eyes that all-consuming regard which ignores
everybody else on earth.”
― Laurie Lee

Love is not a necessity you can acquire or
summon to existence when you want. Don’t make it your life mission to find it
because it can only be given. It is life's greatest gift and luxury that will
unfold when you are soulfully ready and in the least expecting. Love can be
strong, yet so fragile so don’t challenge it or try to mold it to what you
perceive it should be, it should bring you or should make you feel. If and
when you find it, hang on to it, cherish it and nurture it as you will wish it
to be everlasting but reality is that we don’t know…
“Only
once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn
your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another
soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You
share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were
never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When
something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they
will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when
you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do
they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but
rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you
special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or
competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself
and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who
you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song
or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever.
Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being
young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of
daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call
or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always
brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous
conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby.
Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know
they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this
person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to
mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.
You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and
in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed
possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to
feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing
you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the
end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope
and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
