Love is not easily understood by most people unless they have experienced it. If you think of your past love then you may view it as a failure. But when you find a new love and again you view the past as a teacher. In the game of love, it does not really matter who is the winner or losser. What is important is that 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 are 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 sure you will never know unless you give at a try. You 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, to help you grow. Do not find love, let love find you that is why its called falling in love because you do not 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 cares. It's 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 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 do not ever make the same mistake of riding the same one that threw you off the first time. To love is to risk rejection to live is to risk of 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 feeling is to expose true to yourself, 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. Loving someone means giving her/him freedom to find his/her 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 when 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 ready to fall in love. There was a time in our lives when we became afraid to fall in love` coz every time we do, we get hurt, then I figured that is why its called falling in love.
