Do You Believe In Love?

Love... Do you believe in love? If you're like me, you just heard Huey Lewis & the News singing that song in your head haha. You're welcome.  So, do you believe in love? You know, the kind of love where you want to grow old together and you are completely comfortable and content just to be near each other without even having to speak. The kind of love where you just cannot get enough of being with that person and you want to spend the rest of your life pleasing each other. The kind of love where you just want to hold each other's hands because their touch brings such comfort and peace. The kind of love where you want to share your innermost thoughts and your very being with the other person. The kind of love that makes your heart happy....

Do you believe it exists? Is it for everyone? Is there someone for everyone and if you mess it up, that's it? You now have to settle for something else??  When I was young, I did not truly know what love was I don't think. I made alot of mistakes and yes, I picked the wrong people. Maybe I believed that no one else would ever love me so I better grab onto the one who says he does. Maybe I thought if he loved me enough, then everything would be okay no matter what. I didn't wait for true love. Well, at the time, I suppose I thought it was true love. But love is a two-way street. It is give and take. It is a partnership. It is understanding. It is compassion. It is not harmful physically or mentally or emotionally. It is enduring. It is patient. It is kind. It is not self-serving. True love...is unconditional. I love easily. I love deeply. Its who I am. But the only unconditional love I have ever experienced so far is the love of my heavenly Father. I am thankful for that kind of love.  But while here on earth in this human form, I do believe in love....it is possible.
