The guy who loves his mom will be a good
boyfriend. Why? Because if he has
high respect for his mother, he will have high
respect for women.


Don't give everything away. Leave some things a
mystery. Guys love conquest. If you already give
your all, wala ng something to look forward
to sa relationship nyo. And the guy will become
kampante. Assure him of your love and
faithfulness, but warn him too: "umayos ka diyan!
You can lose me anytime...".


BIG PAGKAKAIBA: What a girl needs most is
love. What a guy needs most is respect. The most
important thing for a girl is her heart. For a guy its
his ego.



Give your man his own time and space. Let him
have his time for his friends, sports, family, self,
and God. The relationship will grow old quickly if
lagi kayong magkasama. Give him time to miss
you and you'll see how he will love you more. If the
guy naman is obsessed and just wants to
be with you all the time, tell him you cant respect
a "puppy" for long.



Do things differently anytime. Para kahit matagal
na kayo, there is always something fresh and
new.
Variety is the spice of life. Exciting baga?



"Making love" is better than just "having sex". And
true love "waits". Save your precious "gift" for
your
wedding night. Di nagiging tama ang mali, just
because uso naman and everyone's doing it. Be
iba.


Discover something you both like to do and enjoy
it TWOgether. Doon naman sa mga bagay na
magkaiba ang hilig nyo, compliment each other by
learning about it kahit konti. If you love someone,
yung effort nyo to try will go a looooong way to
understanding him later pag may disagreement
kayo.


Pray with holding hands. Sounds corny noh?
Maybe, but its very powerful. Pag may takot sa
Diyos ang boyfriend mo, kampante ka na di ka nya
lolokohin, because he knows God sees everything
he does in secret. Ikaw na ang magkusa that
before you part after dates, with hands held and
eyes closed, pray to God to bless you two. Believe
me it's effective. Kailanman, di corny ang
magdasal.


Never think "mababago ko sya pag kami na...".
Only God can change a person, and only if the guy
wants to. Even God cannot steer parked cars.


Believe in "Magic". Kahit di minsan practical o
walang logical na dahilan, o matrabaho, o sounds
crazy sa iba, do sweet little things for the one you
love kahit magmukha ka ng timang. The memories
will be fun to recall later in life. The corniest
song o
gift o letter (aminin mo) ang laging kabog!


True love brings out the best in each other. Find
something good in your boyfriend and nurture it,
encourage it and syempre, ENJOY it.


It's healthy to fight. Doon nyo lang maaayos ang
mga differences nyo at natetest ang tatag ng
relationship. Doon mo rin sya makikilala ng mabuti.
Its called test of fire. Di mahalaga how dalas you
fight. What matters is how often you make bati.
Mas nakakatakot yung relasyong sobrang perfect
at laging masaya. One big fight and that's it! And
diba mas kilig yung malambing na... "uy, bati na
tayo...".


But don't overdo it. Kakapagod naman din na lagi
na lang manuyo o magsori. Choose the battles na
papatulan mo. The little issues, palampasin na.
Don't sweat the small stuff.


Daraan sa iba't-ibang stages ang love especially
pag matagal na kayo. Grow with it. Don't expect
him to be like nung una. 'Coz like a student, di na
ituturo sa grade 6 yung lessons na pang-grade 2.
Change WILL happen... you both will change and
your love WILL change too. It's up to you na lang if
the change will be for the better or for the worse.
Life is about growth. Grow with it.


When break up comes and it's time to say
goodbye, don't doubt the love just because it didn't
last. May mga bagay sa buhay na di man
nagtatagal, it doesn't mean na di na ito totoo.
Some good things are just never meant to last
forever

"There are some people who meet that somebody
that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard

crazy, but we should all be lucky to end up with
that somebody who has a little of that insanity.
Somebody who never lets go. Somebody who
cherishes you forever."
--- Ally Mc Beal

Dear Catherine,
I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in so long. I feel I've
been lost. No bearings, no compass. I kept
crashing into things, a little crazy I guess. I've
never been lost before. You were my true north. I
could always steer for home when you were my
home. Forgive me for being so angry when you left.
I still think some mistake's been made and I'm
waiting for God to take it back. But I'm doing better
now. The work helps me. Most of all, you help me.
You came into my dream last night with that smile
of yours that always held me like a lover, rocked
me like a child. All I remember from the dream is a
feeling of peace. I woke up with that feeling and
tried to keep it alive as long as I could.
I'm writing to tell you that I'm on a journey toward
that peace. And to tell you I'm sorry about so
many things. I'm sorry I didn't take better care of
you so that you never spent one minute being cold
or scared or sick. I'm sorry I didn't try harder to find
the words to tell you what I was feeling. I'm sorry I
never fixed the screen door. I fixed it now.
I'm sorry I ever fought with you. I'm sorry I didn't
apologize more. I was too proud. I'm sorry I didn't
bring you more compliments on everything you
wore and every way you fixed your hair. I'm sorry I
didn't hold on to you with so much strength that
even God couldn't pull you away.
All my love. G.

When you love someone,
And you love them with your heart,

You set them free.

It will all come back to you

stabilized, enter no stores. Breakup rule No. 3:
Never stop thinking about him, even for a moment.
because that's the moment he'll appear. And

who broke your heart or how long it takes to heal,
you'll never get through it without your friends.

Do you believe in love? I bet you don't, you're
probably too sensible for that. Have you ever seen
someone and you know that if only that person
really know you, they'd dump the perfect model
they were with and realize that you are the one
they want to grow old with? Have you ever fallen in
love with someone you've never talked to? Have
you ever been so alone you spent the night

I hate the way you talk to me And the way you cut
your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick --
It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh --
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it that you're not around
And the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way
I don't hate you --
Not even close, not even a little bit, not any at all.

Lois: You know, if somebody had asked me three
days ago who the one person in the world I
admired most was, I'd have said you. But, without
really knowing what that meant. Without
understanding that the hardest thing about being
you is all the things you can't do. All the cries for
help that you can't answer, and how that quietly
tears you apart. But it never stops you. And after
living a little of that myself, I realized
something...something I never thought was
possible.
Clark: What?
Lois: I love you more. More than I ever have and
more than I ever thought I could love anyone, and
so, I wanna ask ... Will you marry me?
---LOIS AND CLARK

I know it's a cornball thing, but love is
passion,obsession, someone you can't live
without. If you don't start with that, what are you
going to end up with? I say fall head over heels.
Find someone you love like crazy and who'll love
you the same way back. And how do you find
him? Forget your head and listen to your heart...
Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back.
Because the truth is, there is no sense living your
life without this. To make the journey and not fall
deeply in love well, you haven't lived a life at all.
You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you
haven't lived... Stay open. Who knows? Lightning
could strike.

---KISSING A FOOL

I've been warned.

Right now I don't know what to feel, what to believe.

It started so well. I liked him, he liked me. We got close....and closer.

And now that he is leaving and there's not much time, he gives me an entirely different impression. I never imagined he is capable of being an aweful person. After everything. He even called me a friend. Friends never hurt each other - intentionally.

Now that I reached this point, I am swimming in a pool of varying emotions and beliefs.

- We were both into each other. It was wonderful. No regrets. He's just having a hard time reconciling the fact that he's leaving behind so much he's loved. It was wrong for me to demand his understanding at this time when he himself is wallowing in so much confusion.

-- He just took advantage of the fact that I like him. I was there. He's a pig. He'd eaten anything that comes his way. And now that I expressed my pain, he show me just what I am to him. Nothing - and even less.

--- He liked me. But was intimidated by me. So he never made a move. Then I made the move. We both got what we wanted. Then something happened along the way. Love comes and goes. I got hurt. He did not know how to handle the situation. He was just being honest and open. And I could'nt take all the honesty.

----It was ego. He took me in coz he liked the feeling of being liked. And I never loved him. It was the physical intimacy and the feeling of being admired. It was the illusion of romance. Even the excitement of doing something wrong. It was also a game for me. I just did not want to lose.

The emotions and thoughts just keep on coming. But the bottomline is, he did not treat me well. I never did anything that bad for him to treat me like that. A man, a friend, does not speak like that. He was unfair. He hurt me. And despite all that, I still wish we could be okay. I guess I really like him, or the thought of being with him. But this time, I will do what is logical and sane. No more risks. Definitely no more regrets. I'll just stay away. He said that's what he wanted right? So be it. But I bet he'll miss me. Whatever the denials, he'll miss having someone being there waiting for him. But I shouldn't care. And I won't. Not this time!

ok. i know i’ve been obsessing and whining but now i’m just plain happy. yes, finally!

i know that given the circumstances and all other factors – it’s apparent that he can’t be mine. but there’s something about us that keeps me happy despite all the impossibilities. there’s the attraction that’s always there. and the smallest signs of interest are enough to inspire me.

plus there’s this one night that i’ll never forget. and i hope it’s special for him too. it was so easy for us to forget that we were mad at each other. was it because we had too much to drink? i think not!

we’ve always liked each other. for more than a year, we’ve noticed each other, almost everyday. it was always nice to see him. and though it’s painful to think he loves another and will be leaving soon, it will always make me smile to know he likes me, gave me his time, and even for just once made me part of him.

i never asked for anything in return. i just needed him to know how i felt for him coz it was becoming too much of a burden for me to keep to myself.

turned out, he also liked me. so he decided to be intimate. we had one small kiss. then another. our kisses got longer and more intense. then one day, he said he wanted more. he asked me if i wanted more. of course i did. i said yes.

at first glance it looked mutual. but he never went through. no reasons. i asked but he never gave an answer. well, at first he did. he said he did not want to ruin our friendship. huh? why did he offer it in the first place?

but i really like him. so i played along. whenever he wanted to be with me, i went. and there was a time when i felt really close to him. i thought he was into me as i was into him. he would hold me, look so sweetly at me, tell me flattering words.

but he was never consistent. he would do these things then just so suddenly leave me hanging. and when i get upset he insisted that i was being impulsive.

right now i hate him. i don't want him. i want to stay away. but i know that, like before, i'd fall again. it will only take one call and i'd come. i know it's going to be stupid of me to go back to that routine, but i like him so much not to open myself to possibilities.

i am lost. do i protect myself from getting humiliated again? or is he worth all this?

Here's one forwarded email that can be usefule when someone in love (or out of love) gets confused.....

*
I have a friend who is falling in love. She honestly claims the sky is bluer. Mozart moves her to tears. She has lost 15 pounds and looks like a cover girl. "I am young again!"she shouts exuberantly.

As my friend raves on about her new love, I've taken a good look at my old one. My husband of almost 20 years, Scott, has gained 15 pounds. Once a marathon runner, he now runs only down hospital halls. His hairline is receding and his body shows signs of long working hours and too many candy bars. Yet he can still give me a certain look across a restaurant table and I want to ask for the check and head home.

When my friend asked me "What will make this love last?" I ran through all the obvious reasons: commitment, shared interests, unselfishness, physical attraction, and communication.

Yet there's more. We still have fun. Spontaneous good times.

Yesterday, after slipping the rubber band off the rolled newspaper, Scott flipped it playfully at me: this led to an all-out war. Last Saturday at the grocery, we split the list and raced each other to see who could make it to the checkout first. Even washing dishes can be a blast.

We enjoy simply being together.

And there are surprises. One time I came home to find a note on the front door that led me to another note, then another, until I reached the walk-in closet. I opened the door to find Scott holding a "pot of gold" (my cooking kettle) and the "treasure" of a gift package. Sometimes I leave him notes on the mirror and little presents under his pillow.

There is understanding.
I understand why he must play basketball with the guys. And he understands why, once a year, I must get away from the house, the kids - and even him - to meet my sisters for a few days of nonstop talking and laughing.

There is sharing.
Not only do we share household worries and parental burdens - we also share ideas. Scott came home from a convention last month and presented me with a thick historical novel. Though he prefers thrillers and science fiction, he had read the novel on the plane. He touched my heart when he explained it was because he wanted to be able to exchange ideas about the book after I'd read it.

There is forgiveness.
When I'm embarrassingly loud and crazy at parties, Scott forgives me. When he confessed losing some of our savings in the stock market, I gave him a hug and said, "It's okay. It's only money."

There is sensitivity.
Last week he walked through the door with that look that tells me it's been a tough day. After he spent some time with the kids, I asked him what happened. He told me about a 60-year old woman that had a stroke. He wept as he recalled the woman's husband standing beside her bed, caressing her hand. How was he going to tell this husband of 40 years that his wife would probably never recover? I shed a few tears myself. Because of the medical crisis. Because there were still people who have been married 40 years. Because my husband is still moved and concerned after years of hospital rooms and dying patients.

There is faith.
Last Tuesday a friend came over and confessed her fear that her husband Is losing his courageous battle with cancer. On Wednesday I went to lunch with a friend who is struggling to reshape her life after divorce. On Thursday a neighbor called to talk about the frightening effects of Alzheimer's disease on her father-in-law's personality. On Friday a childhood friend called long-distance to tell me her father
had died.I hung up the phone and thought, This is too much heartache for one week.

Through my tears, as I went out to run some errands, I noticed the boisterous orange blossoms of the gladiolus
outside my window. I heard the delighted laughter of my son and his friend as they played. I caught sight of a
wedding party emerging from a neighbor's house. The bride, dressed in satin and lace, tossed her bouquet to her cheering friends. That night, I told my husband about these events. We helped each other acknowledge the cycles of life and that the joys counter the sorrows. It was enough to keep us going.

Finally, there is knowing.

I know Scott will throw his laundry just shy of the hamper every night; he'll be late to most appointments and eat the last chocolate in the box. He knows that I sleep with a pillow over my head. I guess our love lasts because it is comfortable. No, the sky is not bluer: it's just a familiar hue. We don't feel particularly young: we've experienced too much that has contributed to our growth and wisdom, taking its toll on our bodies, and created our memories. I hope we've got what it takes to make our love last.

We're following those instructions. "If anything is real, the heart will make it plain." There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn't expect you to understand that, or even believe it, but trust me, there are some loves that don't go away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but we should all be blessed to end up with that somebody who has a little of that insanity.

Somebody who never lets go. Somebody who cherishes you forever.

Hope you find this kind of love in your life.

he came near. too near it made me melt. just a few inches away from a kiss. i wanted to go ahead. but i was scared. and so the moment ended without a kiss. embarrassment came in me. add frustration. but i did not want him to see me crushed. went ahead like nothing happened.

but i guess he really liked me. one stolen moment, he called and we kissed. unexpected. exciting. inspiring. wow... there was magic. no exaggeration, there really was.

then we kissed and got closer everytime we did. but we both know we cannot kiss forever, or even go beyond. that's what hurts.

but somehow we managed to try and think that we can, to the point that i believed in the illusion. and he played along. and eventually i asked when. of course, he said no. with a bunch of reasons and lies. he hurt me again.

i said a lot of bad things. i showed him how much it hurt. he tried to make me feel better. he couldn't. he let me alone. it hurt even more. then i finally told myself that being distant will only make things worse. i apologized forr what i said, asked to be friends, and we had a chance to talk.

it was hard. embarrassment, frustration, and the fear of hearing the rejection engulfed me while i was telling him how much i wanted him, how much i think he wants me, how much we want to be closer, how much i am willing to be there without expecting. he said he was a very lucky guy.

and i guess i can call myself lucky, too. he said he could play along with me. but he was scared that he might fall. he has liked me since the day i started liking him. he tried to be close for the longest time, but he never tried to be this close, just as i have always tried to watch from my distance. it felt good to know that he can see himself falling for me. it was tempting. can't we fall for each other with the expections? i know i can. but he is far mor sane than i am.

and so there it was. finally, i've understood the man that he is. not too bad. deserving of my admiration and respect. i'm not so happy with the ending but i guess this is the best and the farthest that i can get. no worries, he is still there. hopefully, still there when we are both ready to be for each other.

and i said i am no longer a romantic. did i just contradict myself? well, whatever. life goes on.... and hopefully ends with a smile!

so how do you know if you have finally known the person for what he is, sans the biases and misinterpretations?

i've known this guy to be gentle and ready to listen - 2 things that made me give him a second glance every time i have the chance, makes my spirit smile, my days brighter, all the mushy stuff. i've grown to like him.

til one day, i realized that even this angel has a cunning side. shattered all the good things. shattered my little world. i became distant, to protect myself from getting misled, deceived. but it was hard not to watch from a distance. the illusion still prevailed. i still liked him.

he stopped getting close. i just watched. then a girl came along. and i got hurt.

can't blame him. i stopped. can't blame me. i got hurt. but seeing him with her made me feel that no matter how much i felt deceived, i cannot stand protecting myself and seeing another girl get his affection. it was so painful, so heavy to bear.

was it a blessing that i got to tell him how i felt?

he took it well. smiled and looked so flattered. i was so glad that he was not offended. even asked if i'd get mad if he kissed me. i smiled and covered my face. embarrassed. told i wouldn't want to sin. too vocal? well, he's that open. and i like that. i always did. i still do now.

then what? life went on.....

· If God takes the life that I borrowed right this very moment, I'll ask him one last favor… to bring me back on earth and do one important task, to have a glimpse of you and die again…in your arms this time.

· I guess to have you will never be and I have to accept it even if it hurts me. But there's one thing I'll ask from you and hope it will be ok, will you let me love you until I get over you?

· When someone push you down, I'll be here to pull you up. When someone makes yo u sad, I'll be here to make you smile. When someone says goodbye, I'll be here to stay with you.

· Why can't you feel what I want you to feel? Why can't you do what I want you to do? Why can't you love me now that I'm loving you? But the big question is, why do you keep me falling so much for you?
· Don't stop the tears from falling, I'm here to wipe them dry, here to stop the hurting whenever someone says goodbye. I may not be the person to make the hurting end, but I'd do anything to never see you hurt again.

· There are times when I can't decide if I want to see you or not. I want to see you coz I miss you but there are times when I don't want to. Coz every time I do, the fact that you don't see me the way I see you hurts even more.

· Slowly, you feel me slipping away from you, not because I realized that I don't love you, but because I'm in a place where I'm not supposed to stay. Slowly, I'll be gone, but did you ever knew I was here?

· If my heart is about to break for you, I want it to be broken not into two but into thousand pieces for this heart will never choose to love again if not for you.

· I never intended to be the most important person in your life, that's just too much to ask. But I do hope time would come that I'll cross your mind and you'd smile thinking that I touched your life the way you touched mine.

· Sometimes I'm hurt so much that I just want to run away, run away as far as I could. But you know what really scares me? It's when I look back and I'll see you not following me anymore.

· I miss you when there's no reason, how much more if there was? I miss you even if we talk, how much more if we didn't? I miss you after we're together, how much more if I see you never? I miss you now, how much more later?

· Someday, you'll find someone better than me, someone who'll let you see things that I have never shown you and when that time comes, just don't forget that what I gave you is the best that I have and what I am to you is the best that I am.

· You came to touch me, to comfort, to hold me tight, to care for me, to love me…then I fell for you. But you told me that all you did what was any friend would do.

· Why is it after all this time we've been together, I've never really considered you as a friend? Its not coz I don't want you to be one but because ever since, I've hoped and prayed you will be much more than a friend to me.

· If you need a shoulder to cry on call on me and I'll be there but still I don't wanna see you cry coz every drop of your tear is every wound in my heart.

· Can I ask you something? Can you be there for me when I'm all alone? Can you do something for me? Can you hug me tight and never let you go? Can you do me a favor? Can you love me the way I loved you?

· You won't believe me when I say I like you, but deep inside its true. It's hard to accept the feeling when you have someone else. Giving him your heart, while here I am, still giving you mine.

· Once you think you're sad and lonely, just think that you're with me. Once you think that you're alone, think that I'm here for you to lean on. Once you think that nobody loves you, think again! I exist right?

 · You know what I would never do? I'd never swim the deepest sea, I'd never jump from a tree, I'd never dive from the sky. But there's one thing I would do, I'd do the things I'd never do just for you.

· Here I am, throwing myself at you, hoping that you'll love me too. But then you hold my hand and told me it'll never come true. Though it hurts me more than it used to, I'll still be a fool waiting for you.

· I may not be expressive to tell you I care, I may be foolish and childish in ways and at times you'll get annoyed, but don't be fooled by the moods I wear coz deep down inside I care.· They say you're not the one for me and that I have to set you free. They told me that things would never be the way you want them to be. They can say anything, but what else can they do? Now that I'm already deeply in love with you.

· I hope you know behind my smile, there are tears. Behind my laughters, there are sorrows. I know I'm just a friend to you but I think you ought to know that behind this friendship, there's my love for you.

· Aww… its night again. I never really liked sleeping probably its b ecause every time I close my eyes, I see you, and when I wake up, my eyes are all cried out over you. Coz you were all a dream and it'll always be that way, you… a dream.

· I don't understand the feeling whenever you walk away. But when I see you not around, I always wish you'd stay. But now I've finally realized how foolish I've been, to think there was something else when friendship's all you mean.

· I've been loving you for so long that the pain of not having you has already made me feel numb. I've been trying to fall in love with someone else but why is it that I always end up falling for you?

· I don't know why I keep on loving you despite the fact that I'll get hurt again just like before. I never learn coz I don't want to, not now, no t while I'm still strong to fall for you over and over again.

· If I could, I'll not only catch you but hold you forever, not only stay with you but be with you for a lifetime, not only care for you but love you for the rest of my life… if only I could.

· I'll give you my life, I'll lend you my heart. Just don't disregard this important part, that in this world, there's one thing I'm too weak to do and that's to stop falling in love with you.

· It hurts me to see you alone. Makes me wanna be with you and do everything I can to cheer you up. When the time comes that you feel like needing someone to be beside you, tell me…I want to be the one to stay with you.

· If you want me to stay, I will. If you want me to go, well…ok. But if one day you see me slowly fading, its not because I don't care anymore. It would be fo r one reason, you pushed me away.

· I don't know if I'm a part of you, I'm not sure if you care for me, I can't even tell how much I mean to you. But I want you to know that I almost die just at the thought of losing you.

· Everyday I walk towards you hoping that I'd somehow get to be with you for at least a moment. But it's hard for me to catch up with you if you're also trying to catch up with someone else.

· A lot of people have asked me why I love and I answered back with a quiet smile not because I don't have an answer but because they would never understand.

· I love you but I'm not asking anything in return. I never ask you to care for me, to think of me or even to love me. But I can't remember, did I ever ask you to hurt me?

· For many times I've said I would not love you anymore and yet everytime I lay my eyes on you, my heart starts to state this silent words which says I'm still not over you.

· I can't afford to lose you coz I care for you. If you'd be gone in my life, I'm sure I wouldn't be even half as strong as I thought I could because you're the only meaning life has meant for me.

· It's hard to lose someone who has become a part of your life, someone you've learned to love and can't live without. That's why when you came into my world, there's one thing left to pray…that you'll never go away.

· If I count how many times you've crossed my mind in my entire life, I'd be lying if I said it was too many. Coz you only crossed my mind once, why? Coz you never left it.

· If I could wish and make it come true, that's to spend my life with you. If I could speak to let you know, that's to say I love you so. If I could hold you and let it still, that's to embrace you and love you for real.

· If the words "I like you" isn't enough, can I say "I love you" instead? If "I miss you" isn't enough, can I say "I need you" instead? But what if I say "You" being a friend isn't enough, can you just be mine?

· Loving you secretly is a hard thing for me to do, hoping, wondering, wishing that you'll feel the same way too, but I can't read your mind if you love me too. But whatever it is I'll still be loving you.

· Have you ever wondered why sometimes looking at your crush makes you hurt inside instead of making you happy? Because you know that it will always be that way looking at him without him knowing.

· I'd give up my happiness so you could have yours. I'd give up my life so you could live yours. I'd give up eternity just to be with you but there's one thing I'll never give up and that would be you.

· The hardest part of loving is when you can only view the person you love from a distance and not being able to hold his hand, embrace him tight coz for him you're only his friend.

· There is a reason for everything; a reason to give, a reason to live, a reason to love. But if you can't find a reason to smile, please let me be your reason, even just for a while.

· Love doesn't count on the laughter that you shared but the number of tears and pain that you try to get over with for the sake of holding on.

· Don't believe in courtship, it's just a waste of time, if I love a person, I'll tell her right away, but for you I'll make an exemption, just love me now, and I'll court you forever.

· There are so many stars in the sky, only some are radiant enough to be noticed. Among those you choose to ignore is the one willing to shine for you forever even if your glance remains elsewhere.

· Love is when you tell someone bad about yourself and you're scared he won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only does he still love you, he loves you even more.

· Why say "Hi" if you mean to say "I miss you"? Why say "Let's go out" if you mean to say "I wanna be with you"? Why say "Stay" if you can say "Be with me"? Why say "I care" when you're heart says "I love you"?

· I hired a sky writer to write how much you mean to me but I came up with an eensy weensy problem, the sky is not big enough.

· When I saw you, I was afraid to look at you. When I looked at you, I was afraid to touch you. When I touched you, I was afraid to kiss you. When I kissed you, I was afraid to love you. Now that I love you, I am afraid to lose you.

· Until there was you, I cried myself to sleep. While I have you, I fell asleep with a gentle smile on my face. Before I lost you, I worried myself to sleep. Now that I know you're gone, I sit up at night, waiting for you to com e back.

· True love cannot be found where it does not truly exist, nor can it be hidden where it truly does. Love is magic. The more we hide it, the more it shows; the more you suppress it, the more it grows.

· Love is not about "It's your fault" but "I'm sorry". Not "Where are you?" but "I'm right here". Not "How could you?" but "I understand". Not "I wish you were", but "I'm thankful you are."

· It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with someone else but it's more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.

· Love hurts when you break up with someone. It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you. But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel.

· Love is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. But if you just let it fly, it would come to you when you least expect it.

· If you live to be a hundred, I want to live a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.

· When I get tired of making you realize that I'm here loving you, tired of pushing myself to you, tired of hoping that you'll love me too and I have to let go, will you then realize my worth?

· Before I go to sleep, you know what I do? I think of you and when it's my lucky night, I dream of you, I don't want to wake up because when I do, you know what? I just start missing you.

· If you really love someone, put a circle around their name, not a heart, because a heart can be broken but a circle goes on forever.

· Loving someone who doesn't love you is like reaching for a star, you know you'll never reach it but you just got to keep trying.

· I want to say I don't care but my heart says I do. I wa nt to say I don't miss you but I really do. I want to say I can live without you but now I'm dying just to be with you.

· When my days are dark and I feel blue, can I ask something? Can I think of you? It's the only way I could get through because it's nice to know that I have you.

· If I had the letters "HRT" I can add the letters "EA" and get a HEART or add the letter "U" and get HURT. But I'd rather have "U" and get HURT then have a HEART without "U".

· If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do, and I will.

· I could never regret loving you although you don't love me anymore because I know that you once did and that is the most wonderful feeling because I never thought that I deserved your love.

either way, it's going to be sad....

[part ways vs stay together]

part ways - i'll miss the fun and the teasings. the nights when all 4 are together. watching tv while eatiing tons of chips. staying by the poolside. playing with the kids. solving problems together. it will take a lot of adjusting and will give me flashbacks every minute. i can already envision myself in tears every night.

stay together - i'll have to bear with the frequent nagging and insults of the man who "loves" me and try and pretend that i'm sorry for the offense i did more than a year ago. my kids will see us fight. the kids will feel the fight. he will say hurtful words every now and then. we will all have to play deaf when he whines. i'll be battling to keep sane while the insane babbles.


[dare or let go]

dare - the guilt. the secrets. the betrayal. the pain of knowing ur only getting a moment from him. no promises. no future. it's all an illusion, being built from passion. short-lived happiness, pretending to be in love and being loved when it all boils down to physical satisfaction. fleeting. deceitful.

let go - i'm almost there. but chose not to. the flirtation has just started. but chose to play safe. guilt-free but not at all justified. i want something and i can have it now, but chose not to. sacrifices have to be made.
