Got the extract below while i was blog-surfing.. makes quite a lot of sense.. take some time to read n think abt it.. =)
If you find yourself in love wif someone who does not love you,
Be gentle with yourself..
There is nothing wrong with you..
Love just didnt choose to rest in the other person's heart..
If you find someone else in love with you and you don't love him/her,
Feel honoured that love came & called at your door,
But gently refused the gift that you cannot return.
Do not take advantage. Do not cause pain.
How you deal with love is how you deal with you,
And all our hearts feel the same pains & joys,
Even if our lives & ways are different.
If you fall in love with another, and he/she falls in love with you,
and then love chooses to leave...
Do not try to assess it or reclaim blame.. Let it go..
There is a reason and there is a meaning..
You will know in time..
Remember that you don't choose love..
Love chooses you.
All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life..
Feel the way it fills you to overflowing..
Then reach out and give it away..
Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you..
Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit
Give it to the world around you in anyway you can..
This is where many lovers go wrong..
Having been so long without love,
They understand love only as a need..
They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love.
And they begin to look at love as something
That flows to them rather than from them..
The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing,
but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as need..
They cease to be someone who generates love &
instead becomes someone who seeks love.
They forget that the secret for love is that it is a gift,
and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away..
Remember this & keep it to your heart..
Love has its own time.. its own season.. and its own reason for coming & going..
You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into staying..
You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you..
But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your lover,
There is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do.
Love always has been and always will be a mystery.
Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life..
