Love Poems | Love Advice

I thought I knew what love was
But I guess love proved me wrong

It’s not just about smiles and cheers
But more about ones sorrows and fears

It’s not about always being together
But about being together when you’re apart

Not about taking what you can get
But about sharing what you can give

It’s about being strong for each other
Despite of being so afraid inside

It’s about braving all the storms
Because you know you’re love will survive

It’s about being united as one
And still undivided as two

It’s about knowing when to let go
When time comes that you have to

It’s about accepting who you both are
But being better because you’re together

It’s not just about opening your heart
But more about a melding of souls

And such they say is love
With all its wondrous roles

Ever noticed how come it’s so easy for us to say thank you to total strangers but we tend to forget to say it to people we love? Thank you, a simple expression of gratitude. My theory on this is that, when it comes to total strangers, saying thank you is more of a courtesy. It is only polite to say thank you since we were taught to say thank you since we were kids. But how come it’s so much more difficult to say thank you to people who matter to us? It’s like the more we love the person, the harder it is to say. Why is that? Is it because we tend to take it for granted that they already know that we’re grateful? But here’s my love advice, it would be so much sweeter and so much more meaningful if we just say it upfront to the people we love.

I’m probably like some of you who’ll get to read this. I have the same problem myself. I’d like to say that I’m a work in progress when it comes to saying thank you. Realization and positive action is half the battle. Think about all the things that you’ve forgotten to say thank you for…like, for the wonderful meals your mom makes for you. For the car that you’re dad loaned you when you needed it for a date. For the advice you’re brother gave you on how to court that special girl. For your sister, who let you wear her new dress since you wanted to catch a cute guys’ eye. For your younger siblings, the ones you tend to bully by asking them to do things for you. For your boyfriend who is ever patient in fetching you from work. To your girlfriend who is there to support you when you think no one can understand. You could think of creative ways on expressing your gratitude through taking care of your love ones for a change or if its for your special someone you could look for love poems to add to your notes and card.

Think about all the usual things you do in a day. You’d be amazed at how many things there are for you to be thankful for. Take a chance, say thank you to your love ones. You might be surprised on how good it feels to show and say your gratitude. I’m more than 100% sure that they would love you all the more for showing it. It’s never too late to say thank you to the people you love.

If love were the sky
It would be clear and blue
With the sun slowly creeping up
To grace the day with its sun shiny warmth

If love were the sea
It would be the waves flowing
Ceaselessly on the white sand of the shore
Washing away the past to herald the future

If love were the mountains
It would stand proud and strong
Amidst the peril of the unknown seasons
Ever enduring, surviving the challenges of nature

If love was having you
It would be happiness beyond measure
That comes once in every lifetime
To bring hope, peace and joys of sharing

For all the times you’ve stood by me when tough times come my way
For all the times you’ve been my anchor amidst the swells and sways
For all the times you’ve wiped my tears when the pain was too much to bear
For all the times you’ve made me laugh when I couldn’t even care
For all the times you’ve taught me to see the brighter side of life
For all the times you’ve kept the faith despite of all these strife
For all the times you’ve understood when I didn’t even know how
For all the times you’ve been patient when I couldn’t appreciate the now
For all the times you’ve cared for me without ever expecting anything in return
For all the times you’re selfless love continued the flame to burn
For all the times you’ve loved me in the very best way you can
I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you for being the greatest man
I’ve never met someone who suites me in every way that you do
And it’s because of all these and more that I’ve deeply fallen for you

I’d like to say thank you for always being there
For always putting me first and for taking great care
For putting up with my temper, however bad it may be
For loving me despite of and just simply accepting me

Thank you for understanding when even I barely can
My shifty moods and cravings; my little quirks and bents
For knowing when to tell me to stop and when to indulge me too
For always looking out for me and reminding me what to do

Thank you for putting back my faith to happy ever after
For giving me reasons to smile again and share life’s crazy laughter
For giving me strength and knowing that I could always lean on you
When things get tough and uncertain and problems can get me blue

Thank you for not giving up on me when I couldn’t see the light
For being patient and dedicated; for holding on real tight
I never really thought we’d be together the way we are today
It still really amazes me how we eventually found our way

But most of all, thank you for being courageous enough to try
For standing firm on your feelings and for choosing not to lie
For convincing me to trust you to cherish the most important part
And so I leave in your keeping my most precious heart.
