that mysterious thing called love

if you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself..there is nothing wrong with you..love didn't choose to rest in the other's person heart..if you find someone else in love with you and you don't love him, feel honored that love ame 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 yourself..and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different..when love chooses to leave, do not reclaim it, let it go..there is no reason and a meaning you will know in time..remember that you didn't choose love, love chooses you..all you can really do is accept it for all it's mystery when it comes to your life..feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away..give it back to the others who are 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 a 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 season and its own reason for coming and going..you cannot bube or coerce it, or reason with it..you can always 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 is always been and always will be a mystery..be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life..
