It hurts... It hurts to love some one and not be loved in return, but what’s more painful is to love some one and never be able to find the courage to let the person know how you feel. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we do finally meet the right person, we will be grateful for the gift. Love is when you take away the feeling, passion and romance in a relationship and you find out you still care for that person. A sad thing in life is when you meet some one who means a lot to you, only to find that in the end it was never meant to be and you just have to let go. When the door of happiness closes, another one opens, but sometimes we spend so long looking at the closed door that we don’t see the one that has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the one you can be with without saying a word and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it; but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives. Giving some one all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart, but if it doesn’t, be content that it grew in yours. Never say goodbye if you still want to try- never give up if you feel you can go on, never say you don’t love a person if you can’t let go. Love comes to those who still hope although they’ve been disappointed, to those who believe although they’ve been betrayed, to those who still love although they’ve 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 on some one, an hour to like some one, and a day to love some one, but it takes a lifetime to forget some one. Don’t go for looks; they can be deceiving. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for some one who makes you smile; it only takes a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Hope that you’ll find the one that makes you smile. There are moments in life when you miss some one so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real. Hope that you dream of that special person. Dream what you want to dream, do what you want to do, and be what you want to be because you only have one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough to trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to make you human, enough hope to make you happy. Always put yourself in other people’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you then it probably hurts the other person too. A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress, a loving word may heal and bless. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying and everyone was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
