'Tis for all of us who have loved and hurt, those who
haven't loved at all and those who are just about to
discover the beauty of this moving emotion.

-=The Greatest Irony of LOVE-=

The greatest irony of love is letting go when
you need to hold on and holding on when you need
to let go.

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 who 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 or her to be happy, even if his or
her happiness means that you're not part of it.

Everything happens for the best. If the person
you love doesn't love you back, don't be afraid to
love someone else again, for you'll never know
unless you give it a try. You'll never love a
person you love unless you risk for love.

Love strives in hurting. 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 and to help 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 get back on the horse. But don't ever
make the same mistake of riding the same one that
threw you the first time. To love is to risk
rejections; to live is to risk dying, to hope is
to risk failure. But risk must be taken because
the greatest hazard in life is risking nothing!

To reach for another is to risk involvement, to
expose your feelings is to expose true self; to
love is to risk not to be loved in return.

How to define love: fall but do not stumble, be
constant but not too persistent, share and 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 can also hurt you in the end.

Loving people means giving them the freedom that
they choose to be and where they choose to be. For
all the heartaches and the tears, for gloomy days
and fruitless years, you should give thanks, for
you know, that these were the things which helped you grow.

Loving someone means giving him the freedom to
find his way, whether it leads towards you or away
from you. Love is a painful risk to take but the
risk must be taken no matter how scary or painful,
for only then you'll experience the fullness of humanity and
that is love.

Only love can hurt your 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 became
afraid to fall in love because every time we do,
we get hurt, then I figured that's why it's called
falling in love. When you decide to love, allow it
to grow. When you promise to love, refuse to let
it die!
