Love Poem #6: I Thought I Knew What Love Was
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

Love Poem #5: Happiness
It’s when you see a myriad of colors telling you
That the day ahead is going to be beautiful
Happiness is when you see children playing
It’s when you remember all the things you did as a child
That simply running around and yelling was such great joy
Happiness is when you see a mother reading a bedtime story
It’s when you think of the fantasies you had and still have
That someday your prince will come to sweep you off your feet
Happiness is when you a sad person and you give him a smile
It’s when you know that you’ve just brightened someone’s day
That by just caring you gave someone a dash of hope
Happiness is when you see two lovers walking hand in hand
It’s when you feel you made someone’s life worth living
That by sharing your life, you gave someone a piece of heaven here on earth
Happiness if when you finally see your Maker
It’s when you can tell Him that you’ve truly lived
That you gave it your best and you didn’t just pass by…

Love Advice #2: Saying "thank you" to someone you love
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.
