LOVE THAT MAKES YOU SMILE

 Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that range from interpersonal affection to pleasure. It is a virtue representing human kindness, compassion and affection – the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another.

Love is kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud or rude. It isn’t selfish or quick tempered; it doesn’t keep a record of wrongs that others do, but rejoices in the truth and not in evil. Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful and trusting.

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right ones, so that when we finally meet the right person we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Love is when you take away the feeling, passion and the romance in a relationship and find out you still care for that person. Sometimes in life, you may meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that you two were never meant for each other, and you just have to let go without hard feelings; that is love.

When the door of happiness closes another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can just be with, ever say a word and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you have ever had. It is true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that the person will love you back. Don’t expect love in return; just be content that it grew in yours. There are things that you love to hear which you will never hear from the person whom you will like to hear them from; but don’t be so deaf that you do not hear it from the one who says it from his heart.

Never give up if you still want to try. Never give up if you still feel you can go on. Never say you don’t love a person anymore if you can’t let go. Love comes to those who still hope although they’ve been disappointed; to those who still believe although they have been betray; to those who still need to love although they have been hurt before, and to those who have the courage and faith to build trust again.

It takes only a minute to get a crush from someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone; but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don’t go for looks, they can deceive; don’t go for wealth, even that fades away. Instead, go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day bright. Hope you find someone that makes you smile!
