I guess
it is not the amount of hours you spend with someone, but the feeling he/she
left you even when you are alone. It’s not about talking for hours on the
phone, or spending every minute of the day with each other, but by how you
always wanted to sleep at night knowing that he/she is still the person your
hear t will be beating for the next day.. It is not with what you wanted to
feel, but with what he/she feels every time you are together. Love may always
seem to be a simple ensemble of four letters forming a word that runs out of
every person’s mouth, but to the few who knew the essence of self-giving, love
is but a selfless act. You love if you choose to put aside your own wants over
the other. You love if you choose to put happiness first in other person’s
heart before yours. You love if you choose to give away your heart without
expecting anything in return. I once said there is no one-sided love, but love
perhaps is ,maybe, really one-sided… you can never call it love if you would
give it out only if the other would give it in. It is a risk. You will never
know what you will get. But yes… as long as he is happy…as long as she is
happy… I am happy enough to see tears trickling down his eyes when he laughs
too much… I am happy enough to hear her boisterous laugh… You are happy that
the other person you care for is happy. That is love…
