Sometimes in our relentless efforts to find the
person we love fail to recognize and appreciate
the people who love us. We miss out on so many
beautiful things and simply because we allow
ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish
concerns. Go for the man of deeds and not for the
man of words for you will find happiness not with
the man you love but the man who loves you more.

The best lovers are those who are capable of
loving from a distance, far enough to allow the
other person to grow, but never too far to feel the
love deep within your being. To let go of
someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving, it
only means that you allow that person to find his
own happiness without expecting him to come
back. Letting go is not just setting the other
person free, but it also setting yourself free from
all bitterness, hatred, and anger that is kept in
your heart.

Do not let the bitterness lure away your strength
and weaken you faith, and never allow pain to
dishearten you, but rather let yourself grow with
wisdom in bearing it. You may find peace in just
loving someone from a distance not expecting
anything in return. But be careful, for this can
sustain life but can never give enough room for us
to grow. We can all survive with just beautiful
memories of the past but real peace and
happiness comes only with open acceptance of
what really is today.

There comes a time in our lives when we chance
upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just
find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that
person. This feeling soon becomes a part of our
everyday lives and eventually consumes our
thoughts and actions.

The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that
this person feels nothing more for us than just
friendship. We start our desperate attempt to get
noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts
are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for
ourselves.

You don't have to forget someone you love. What
you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of
reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself.

Believe me, you would be better off giving that
dedications and love to someone more
deserving. Don't let your heart run your life, be
sensible and let your mind speak for itself. Listen
not only to your feelings but to reason as well.

Always remember that if you lose someone today,
it means that someone better is coming
tomorrow: if you lose love that doesn?t mean that
you failed in love. Cry, if you have to, but make
sure that the tears wash away the hurt and the
bitterness that the past as left you. Let go of
yesterday and love will find its way back to you.
And when it does, pray that it may be he love that
will stay and last a lifetime...
