Love is life
If you have noone to love then your life is a hollow shell
Love is everything
It is everywhere
But it is tricky to find
Nowadadys True love is just something that you hear about in the movies
For love is being able to totally devote yourself to another person
And that other person is more important to you than you are
Nowadays most of us subsitute love for lust
Amount of heart for amount of money
Today love is tossed around to the point where it is almost meaningless
But I have hope
Hope that we are not all trapped
Trapped by lust and want
And also too selfish to give up what we want most for someone else
For we have grown accustomed to this way
Somehow even though I not how
We are missing the passion that love must have
For what is love without passion
Today love is just a word
And that is not what it needs to be
For when you love someone truly and unselfishly
You will never leave
And most relationships fall apart because of all this
When you look for love
You seek to be complete
To be perfected by anothers tranquility
But only a few of us will ever reach that level of perfection
When it comes
Pray to God that you recognize it when it comes

this is very beautiful and so very true, people think there is love in first sight, but all they see is: "Oh she is so hot, I Love Her!" or "that man is so hot, look at that sixpack! i think i love him!" the only thing you feel when you think you fell in love is lust, you never know till you get to know them. thank you for entering!
