What Love Means

I was recently talking with one of my best friends who is like a brother to me & listening to some great music so he could hear some of the lyrics I have had in my head for the past couple of weeks. One line in particular struck me as post worthy. The line states, "Still don't know what Love means." I couldn't help but think about this while I listened to the rest of the song & it hit me while I thought about what Love means to me.

It hit me that I don't know what Love means even though I may have perceptions. To clarify, I don't know what it means to be loved by a partner. Unless Love is supposed to be pain & loss is supposed to somehow be justice. In my head & perceptions, Love is something that cannot be overcome, fade, & something that we would be willing to die for. I know I have loved, because I know I have had to let my own wants & needs die so that someone else could be happy because I cared about their happiness & in the end that is all I could do is let them go, so that if they truly loved me they would return in perfect timing.

There is perfect timing for the thing that happen in our lives. The thing is that we have to have our eyes are open to that timing, or we falter & get caught in the flow of the world like the raindrops that end up on the roadway all flowing the same direction controlled by the others. Even though I know these facts & try to stay conscious of them, I still falter sometimes & have to drag myself out of the stream shake off & come back to myself. I know how hard it is sometimes to look the other way when things are put into & especially taken from your life, to realize that it's not your fault, & come to the realization that people & things will come & go in perfect timing. I just ask that the next time you go through something you are not sure if you can handle that you think about what I have said here. I couldn't be happier to call any of you a friend, if not for the simple fact that I know that if you have read this far you understand me!

Peace, Love, & Happiness to you all friends!!!
