Real Love

Your first experience of love happens unexpectedly, it is an emotion so strong, and so unexpected, that at first you do not fully understand this strange, new, compulsion.

Like a child learning to walk you stumble through your first love affair, and like a child who has learned the art of walking, you realise that to love somebody is a painful and life changing experience that, like walking, involves falling over, except that in affairs of the heart the pain is far more crippling.

Love is without doubt our strongest emotion and it drives us with such power that all other considerations become secondary. This is why the state of being in love leaves you open and defenceless to all manner of false alarms, and we've all been there. When the person you love tosses your feelings aside, there is no other pain quite as debilitating.

The most beautiful by product of love doesn't become apparent for quite some time. It can take many years of loving someone for it to to dawn on you that love is like a tree, it grows. From humble beginnings the act of love takes root, and these roots anchor themselves deep within your heart as the tree grows.

The longer you love someone, the more intense the feeling.

I met a certain someone over twenty four years ago and I can attest to the strength and force of love as it grew within me. Now, all these years later it rules my existence and I would not have it any other way. Love is truly beautiful.

I do so hope you find a love as strong as mine. It gives your life meaning in every sense.

But, beware the tumbles.
