THE ESSENCE OF TRUE LOVE forwarded by Jennifer Tilos

from my inbox:

If you're afraid to love a person because of friendship, then you have choices, either to tell what you feel and let the love take place forever, or to hide the feeling under a friendship full of pretensions.

Sometimes I would asked myself, What would make me happy? To think that I have everything else, I get what I want... then I realized it was YOU, too bad because it's you I can't have... love can never be so beautiful without friendship... one leads to another and the process is irreversible... the best of lovers are the greatest of friends!!!

Love doesn't have to have a happy ending, because love doesn't have to end at all.
A man realized he wanted his love back not wanting to be hurt again. The girl said "no." The man cried out to God, "if it was meant to be, why did I lose her?"
God replied, "you didn't lose her... you let her go!" When you love someone, don't expect that person to love you back the same amount. One of you will be ahead, the other behind. It's either you catch up or the other waits.

THINK OF THIS:
Have you really cared for someone more than you expected? Have you ever tried to love him/her in spite of all the pain? Will you keep on loving him/her as he/she whispers someone else's name? Will you???

True love hears what is not spoken, and understands what is not explained, for love doesn't work in the mouth, nor the mind, but in the heart...

When you love, you must not accept anything in return, for if you do, you're not loving but investing. if you love, you must prepare to accept pain, for if you
expect happiness, you're not loving but using...

I like you because you're my friend, and because you are my friend I care, and because i care, i love you, i don't love you because you are my friend, i love you
because i do!

WHAT IF SOMENONE TELLS YOU THIS:
"Don't believe in courtship. It's just a waste of time. If I love a person, I'll tell her right away, but for you I'll make an exception... just love me now, and I'll court you forever!"

Never be afraid to fall in love. It may hurt a lot, it may give you aches and pains,
but if you don't follow your heart, in the end you will cry even more for not giving love a chance.

I'm sorry if you can't love me the way you loved the one before me, so I'll let you go to find him/her and hope someday you'll see that the one true love you're
looking for was the one who set you free...

Ain't it funny we're trying to catch the attention of the one we think we love? We hardly notice the one we're really looking for was just there. you don't
notice them 'till they are in the arms of someone else...

Love is like standing on wet cement, the longer you stay the harder it is to leave... and you can never go without leaving your prints behind...

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
It's better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than lose that someone you love with your useless pride.

I can't choose who I'm going to love, but i also can't just love who chooses to love me... and you can't blame me in choosing to love you as much as i can't blame you for not learning to love me.

"How can i say goodbye to someone i never had? why do tears fall for someone who was never mine? why is that i miss someone i was never with and i ask why i love someone who's love was never mine?"

It's hard for two people to love each other when they live in two different worlds but when these two worlds collide and become one, that's what you
call magic!

Don't love a person like a flower, because a flower dies in season. love them like a river because a river flows forever. "Love may leave your heart like shattered glass, but keep in mind that there's someone who'll be willing to endure the pain of picking up the pieces so you could be whole again"

The most cruel thing a guy could do to a girl is to let her fall in love when he doesn't intend to catch her fall! (and vice versa!)

"Work like you don't need the money, Love like you've never been hurt, Dance like you do, when nobody is watching.
