back then, a good friend sent me this to remind me that loving is not for the weak, it is for the strong and only the strong can survive it. and to not be afraid to fall in love, because it's worth taking the risk. Hardest Things In Love...
Flashing your smile to someone you don't want to see.Bringing back the feeling you've learned to forget.Showing that you care.Finding a way to mend a broken heart.Learning that you've been used by someone you truly love.Saying "I Love You" when you mean it and when you don't.Letting go of a person you've just learned to love.Realizing that you love somebody you've just taken for grantedRealizing that you love the person you've just broken up withWaiting for promises you know (s)he'llnever keepSaying your love for someone who loves somebody else.Reminiscing the good times you shared togetherShielding your heart to love somebodyTrying to hide what you really feelHaving a commitment with someone that you know would not lastTrying to hide the tears that involuntarily fall from your eyes.Sharing the one you love with someone else.Loving a person so muchGiving up someone you never thought of giving upFalling in love for the first timePRETENDING you're OK when inside you're dying...PRETENDING to be strong...and RECOGNIZING your weaknesslying in bed each night, thinking of that special person you can never haveLoving someone you haven't seenHaving the right love at the wrong timeExerting effort to make the relationship last or workNot being appreciated when you know you've given your bestTaking the risk to fall in love again.Hiding your relationship from someone elseControlling your feelings to avoid hurting a friendChoosing between 2 persons whom you really loveSeeing that person continue to be oblivious of your loveTurning down someone you love dearly, but only as a friendListening to him talk about the girl he loves (which is not you) and seeing how his eyeslight up as he does soSeeing the guy/girl you love staring ata guy/girl who happens to be your friend while you're staring at him/her too....Getting extremely developed over a guy/girl who's a friend and finding out thathe/she likes your best friendSeeing your best friend and the guy/girl you love togetherThinking of him/her every waking and sleeping moment knowing all the while that he/she never even thinks a single thought of youLoving him/her more than he/she loves you...Letting go only to find out later on you shouldn't have let go because everytime you see the person, you only fall deeper...Holding back only to find out when it's too late, you both felt the same way, but were only scared to lose each other so much that you didn't let the feelings out...When the one you love doesn't even knowyou exist...When you both know that you love each other but you're scared of losing the friendship you have...When you let go of the person because your bestfriend you love so dearly is in love with the same person you love...Saying "I Love You" not knowing how the person will respond/replyKeeping the feelings to yourself... and when you finally let it out, it's too lateLetting go even if you really don'twant to...having no right to say you are hurtingbecause it was your decisionBringing back the friendship you once had after a romantic relationship... pretending that nothing happened between the two of you when something really did...Having the right love, but on a wrong timeLetting go. Even when you know it really is for the bestHaving to listen to the one you love talk about the one he/she loves.Having to hear "...I've met someone"Seeing the one you love with anotherStaying friends even though you both know that you both have very strong feelings for one another.Learning to forgiveLearning to trust and love againBelieving and convincing oneself the LOVE is not mere feeling but a state of being...Having to wonder if what you feel is really loveBeing a fool for the person just to make him/her realize that you love him/her...When you know you both love each other very much but your family does not approve of him/her.When he/she leaves you knowing that you'll never get to see each other again... andthere's no chance of getting back together.Falling in love with someone you didn't mean to fall in love with.Falling in love with your best friend.Letting go of someone who was never yours...Finding the perfect guy/girl...with only one problem... he/she doesn't love you...Helping the one you love "make ligaw" to your friend.Seeing the one you love crying for someone else...Going on a wait state for this guy/girl who you don't even have a tiny inkling as to how he/she feels about youBreaking a friend's trustJeopardizing your friendship because of what you feel for your friend.Thinking that he loves you because of what he does for you only to find out that he did it out of pity or whatever...Giving your heart to someone who doesn't give a damn about youNot knowing how you really feel...Having the courage to say I LOVE YOU to the person you love and finding out afterwards that things will never be the same again when he/she doesn't treat you with the same closeness as before...Loving another person to the extent that you already end up hurting yourself... the other person sees it, he/she doesn't care...he/she fails to realize that something good is already staring him/her right in the face, people tell him/her and he/she just ignores them...If you love him, and he's just infatuated... the hardest thing about love - believing it exists. After you've been hurt.....learning to forgive...learning to trust and love againBut the hardest thing really is learning to love yourself. We always forget to do this. Always.
