~ LOVEESCA ~
If you find yourself in love with someone who does
not love you, be gentle with 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/her, 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 you, and
all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if
our lives and ways are different.
If you fall in love with another, and he/she falls in
love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not
try to reclaim it or to assess blame, let it go. There is
a reason and there is a meaning. You will know in
time.
Remember that you don’t choose love. Love chooses
you. All you can really 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 others who deem it poor in spirit. Give it to
the world around you in anyway you can. This is
where many lovers go wrong. Having been so long
without love, they understand love only 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 need. They cease to be someone who generates
love and instead become someone who seeks love.
They forget 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 to your heart. Love has
its own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for
coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or
reason it into saying. 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 the
heart of your lover, 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 that it came to live for a moment in your life.
(= MERRY VALENTINES TO ALL OF US!!! =)
