Best Difference : Like or Love

What is love? When we claim that its love that we have for someone, are we correct? Something to ponder upon.....

Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing and is your voice caught within your chest?
It isn't love, it’s like.

You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them, am I right?
It isn't love, its lust.

Are you proud, and eager to show them off?
It isn't love, its luck.

Do you want them because you know they're there?
It isn't love, its loneliness.

Are you there because it's what everyone wants?
It isn't love, its loyalty.

Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand?
It isn't love, its low confidence.

Do you stay for their confessions of love, because you don't want to hurt them?
It isn't love, its pity.

Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat?
It isn't love, its infatuation.

Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?
It isn't love, its friendship.

Do you tell them every day they are the only one you think of?
It isn't love, it's a lie.

Are you willing to give all of your favorite things for their sake?
It isn't love, its charity.

Does your heart ache and break when they're sad?
Then it's love.

Do you cry for their pain, even when they're strong?
Then it's love.

Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts?
Then it's love.

Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and relation pulls you close and holds you there?
Then it's love.

Do you accept their faults because they're a part of who they are?
Then it's love.

Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret?
Then it's love.

Would you allow them to leave you, not because they want to but because they have to?
Then its love.

Would you give them your heart, your life, your death?
Then it's love.

Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so, why do we love? Why is it all we search for in life? This pain, this agony? Why is it all we long for? This torture, this powerful death of self? Why?

The answer is so simple because it's...LOVE. It is such an addiction that even people who are not having it wish to experience and share it with someone!

A Date with Another Woman

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said I love you but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
 
That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. 
"What's wrong, are you well," she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
"I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you," I responded. “Just the two of us."
 She thought about it for a moment, and then said, “I would like that very much."
 That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed t hat she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.

She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.
 "I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, "she said, as she got into the car.”They can't wait to hear about our meeting".
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down,
 
I had to read the menu. Large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips.
"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said.
"Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary, but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed. 
"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.
 
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't do anything for her.
Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined.
An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son."
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: “I LOVE YOU!" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.
Nothing in life is more important than God and your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time."

True Love : Redefined

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around.

You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.

You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.

When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement.

They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself.

Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.

 
There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition
but only a quiet calmness when they are around.

You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are.

The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever.

Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant.

Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all.

A phone call or two during the day helps to get you
through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face.

In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby.

Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you.

You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.

You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible.

You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you.

You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and
possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end.

Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

Part of Love

A girl was sitting on a chair at the gas station she worked at. She looked up and saw her boyfriend walk in. 

As he was looking at snacks, a man walked in and pointed a gun at her. He had been admiring her ring her boyfriend had given to her as a token of his love. When he asked her to give it to him, she said no. Her boyfriend looked up just in time to see her shot. He ran over to the killer and beat him over the head with a hammer that was for sale. 

Then he ran and called 911. When the ambulance came, he was sobbing uncontrollably near his girlfriend.
The doctor came over and felt for her pulse. Then he stood up and said she was still alive. Later at the hospital, as he was sitting beside her, he asked “Why didn't you just give him the ring?" and then she softly spoke “Because when you gave it to me, you said it was part of your love for me and I knew if I gave him the ring, I would lose that love." The next day, she was pronounced dead.

Without you, I will Die...

one night a guy and girl were driving home from the movies. The boy sensed there was something wrong because of the painful silence they shared between them that night. The girl then asked the boy to pull over because she wanted to talk. She told him that her feelings had changed and that it was time to move on.
A silent tear slid down his cheek as he slowly reached into his pocket and passed her a folded note. At that moment, a drunk driver was speeding down that very same street. He swerved right into the driver’s seat, killing the boy.
Miraculously, the girl survived. Remembering the note, she pulled it out and read it.
“Without your love, I would die."

Blind Girl

There was a blind girl who was filled with animosity and despised the world.

She didn't have many friends, just a boyfriend who loved her deeply, like no one else.
She always used to say that she'd marry him if she could see him. Suddenly, one day someone donated he a pair of eyes…
And that's when she finally saw her boyfriend…
She was astonished to see that her boyfriend too was blind…
He told her, "You can see me now and can we get married?"
She replied, "And for what? We'd never be happy. I have my eye sight now, but you're still blind. It won't work out, I'm sorry."
With a tear in his eye and a smile on his face, he meekly said, "I understand. I just want you to always be happy. Take care of yourself, and my eyes."

Caught By Her Smile

It all started like this, I was with a few friends at McDonald's, after my lecture from school, we were chatting and laughing at some stupid stories that one of my friends told...

Just then, a group of girls come and took their seats, there was this girl, quite outstanding for that striking red top she was wearing and she had this sweet smile...

Then, while they were at the counter, ordering their food, I noticed something, they all had a disability, they could not talk... But, this was not considered a disability to me; I walked up to them, and ask for her number, well, she was surprised?

But, she eventually gave me her address and her name is Elaine, she does not have a phone at home and there was no possibility to talk to her...

After a few days, I sent her a letter, asking her out on a date the following Saturday. Whether she agreed to the date or was it rejected, I could not tell for I do not know!
We were supposed to meet at the Lido cinema to catch a movie, I waited for around 5 mins then, she appeared. She was wearing that same smile that caught me...

In the cinema, we saw he show "Ice Age." In order to communicate, I needed to get a pen and paper...
I asked her about how she felt about me... she told me she was very happy, but at the same time, she was worried as she could not define whether my love was out of sympathy or was it from my heart.

From that moment, I have been asking myself the question, until a month later after my exams, I finally made up my mind, I was really in love with her, not for her disability that I sympathize, not for that she is pretty, but for the fact that I love her... I went to her home, which made her quite surprised, I pulled her out of her home and ran to the park in front of her block of flats, I looked at her and wrote to her how I felt, she looked at my with those big black eyes, those that could take your soul away if you were you stare at it for a long time.

She took the pen and wrote this sentence, “I love you too, but now that I am assured that you love me for what I am and not out of sympathy, I feel that I will not regret the decision...”

Now, we have been together for two years and although we have not planned to get married, I have never once quarrel with her, not even on paper and I never will...
