You were always there when I needed you
Never left my side
Always there to lean on
And dry the tears I cried
I could always talk to you
And you never seemed to mind
Your voice so honest and gentle
Your words so honest and kind
The worse feeling in the world
Is to have lost the one you love
And then still love them
With everything you have in your heart
You go to sleep at night thinking of them
And wake up just the same
Knowing this love aint ever gunna end
But the worse thing is dreaming of him every day and night
Just as if you were together
And had never fallen apart
Forget the times you made me cry
Forget the times you just walked by
Remember the times you were always there
Remember the times you always cared
You changed so much
In so little time
You chose to be her guy not mine
Sometimes I wonder did you really care
Or if you even thought of me when I wasn’t there
Sometimes I wonder if I was ever in your heart
Or was I being used from the very start?
Forget the times you just walked by
Forget the times you made me cry
Forget the times you held my hand
Forget the sweet things if I can
I can no longer pretend
I gotta remember now your just my friend
You used to be so sweet
And you know I loved you babe
I cried at night
‘cos you weren’t by my side
But now I’ve relised
That you were a waste of time
And now I know
You wernt worth all those tears
Ive been crying the past 2 years

Thinking of you...
When you read these words,
chances are that I'll be sitting here
thinking of you... as I so often do.
I'll probably be smiling
one of the smiles that I always do
when thoughts of you come my way.
When you read these few words,
I hope you'll think, just for a moment,
how much you mean to me
and how much you always will.
And when you continue on with the things
you need to be doing in your day,
smile a smile for me, and remember
that I'll be thinking of you still.

Love is like a fishhook…
Now love is like a fishhook. A fisher cannot catch a fish unless the fish first picks up the hook. If the fish swallows the hook, no matter how it may squirm and turn, the fisher is certain of the fish. Love is the same way. Whoever is captured by love takes up this hook in such a fashion that foot and hand, mouth and eyes, heart and all that is in that person must always belong to God.
Therefore, look only for this fishhook, and you will be happily caught. The more you are caught, the more you will be liberated.
— Meister Eckhart

Friendship vs. Love
Friendship is a quiet walk in the park with the one you trust.
Love is when you feel like you are the only two around.
Friendship is when they gaze into your eyes and you know they care.
Love is when they gaze into your eyes and it warms your heart.
Friendship is being close even when you are far apart.
Love is when you can still feel their hand on your heart
when they are not near.
Friendship is hoping that they experience the very best.
Love is when you bring them the very best.
Friendship occupies your mind.
Love occupies your soul.
Friendship is knowing that you will always try to be there
when in need.
Love is when you will give up everything to be at their side.
Friendship is a warm smile in the winter.
Love is a warming touch that sends a pulse through your heart.
Love is a beautiful smile to which nothing compares:
A tender laugh, which opens your heart,
A single touch that melts away your fears,
A smell that reminds you of the tenderness of heaven,
A voice that reminds you of the innocence of youth.
Friendship can survive without love.
Love cannot live without friendship

Love Quotes
The only gift is a portion of thyself.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen each other in all labour, to minister to each other in all sorrow, to share with each other in all gladness, to be one with each other in the silent unspoken memories?
~ George Eliot
The magic of first love is our ignorance
that it can never end.
~Benjamin Disraeli
Sooner or later we begin to understand that love is more than verses on valentines and romance in the movies. We begin to know that love is here and now, real and true, the most important thing in our lives. For love is the creator of our favourite memories and the foundation of our fondest dreams. Love is a promise that is always kept, a fortune that can never be spent, a seed that can flourish in even the most unlikely of places. And this radiance that never fades, this mysterious and magical joy, is the greatest treasure of all - one known only by those who love.
~ Author Unknown
Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.
~Robert Browning
Love is the passionate and abiding desire on the part of two or more people to produce together conditions under which each can be and spontaneously express, his real self; to produce together an intellectual soil and an emotional climate in which each can flourish, far superior to what either could achieve alone.
~author unknown
There is no instinct like that of the heart.
~Lord Byron
The heart has reasons that reason does not understand.
~Jacques Benigne Bossuel
We are all born for love... it is the principle existence
and it's only end.
~Disraeli
I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.
~Alice Walker
If love is a dream, then marriage is the alarm clock.
~John Hagee
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
~Bertrand Russell, Earl Russell
Most of us are pawns in a game of love we don't understand.
~Leo Buscaglia
We can only learn to love by loving.
~Iris Murdoch
Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone. It has to be made like bread, remade all the time, made new.
~Ursula K. Leguin
Henceforth there will be such a oneness between us---
that when one weeps the other will taste salt.
~author unknown
May no gift be too small to give, nor too simple to receive,
which is wrapped in thoughtfulness and tied with love.
~L.O. Baird
Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home.
Give love to your children, to a wife or husband, to a next-door neighbor.
~Mother Teresa
The dedicated life is the life worth living. You must give with your whole heart.
~Anne Dillard
Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes
As the ocean is never full of water, so is the heart
never full of love.
~author unknown
Alas! the love of women! it is known
To be a lovely and fearful thing!
~Lord Byron
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend forever.
~unknown
Love doesn't make the world go 'round.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
~Franklin P. Jones
In his younger days a man dreams of possessing the heart of the woman whom he loves; later, the feeling that he possesses the heart of a woman may be enough to make him fall in love with her.
~Marcel Proust
The truth [is] that there is only one terminal dignity-love. And the story of a love is not important-what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
~ Helen Hayes
What greater things is there for two human souls that to feel that they are joined... to strengthen each other... to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories
~George Eliot
The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.
~Maulana Jalalu'ddin Rumi
The loving are the daring.
~Bayard Taylor
If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
~Mother Teresa
Love is an act of endless forgiveness
A tender look which becomes a habit
~Peter Ustinov
Love is eternal - the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work.
~Vincent Van Gogh
People who are sensible about love are incapable of it.
~Douglas Yates
Love is merely madness...
~William Shakespeare
One is very crazy when in love.

Love that is not madness is not love.
~Pedro Calderon
Love is trembling happiness.
~Kahlil Gibran
True love is like a ghost; everyone talks of it,
few have seen it.
~La Rochefoucauld
What is it that love does to a woman?
Without she only sleeps; with it alone, she lives.
~Ouida
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.
~Benjamin Disraeli
The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.
~Helen Keller
Love is like a Rhino, short-sighted, but always willing to find a way.
~Unknown
Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.
~W.H. Auden
Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves.
~James Matthew Barrie
Love is like an hourglass
With the heart filling up
As the brain empties
~Jules Renard
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.
For that which is essential is invisible to the eye.
~From a book entitled "The Little Prince"
The courses of true love never did run smooth
~William Shakespeare
Yes, I now feel that it was then on that evening of sweet dreams- that the very first dawn of human love burst upon the icy night of my spirit. Since that period I have never seen nor heard your name without a shiver half of delight, half of anxiety. For years your name never passed my lips, while my soul drank in, with a delirious thirst, all that was uttered in my presence respecting you.
~Edgar Allan Poe
Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but looking outward in the same direction.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But true love is a durable fire,
In the mind ever burning,
Never sick, never old, never dead,
From itself never turning.
~Sir Walter Raleigh
What is love?
It is the morning and the evening star.
~Sinclair Lewis
Love seeketh not itself to please, but for another
gives its ease.
~William Blake
We loved with a love that was more than love.
~Edgar Allan Poe
Real love stories never have endings.
~Richard Bach
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.
~Flavia Weedn

I love and respect that quote dearly. It so relates to the Islamic society of today. Some have become selfish but love is never selfish. If you can not create love within your own house then kon kiya dega dosere logoko.

LOVE TAKES TIME
Love, you say you love me
How could this be true?
I've only just met you
Love takes time to develop
It's not an instant thing
You can't know what love is
If you say it this soon
Love takes time
It develops with trust,
patience, caring, understanding
You have yet to earn that of me
I have loved before
True love, an unconditional caring
This love will never be lost
For true love lasts a lifetime
What you feel for me is not true
True lust maybe but not love
Time, I need
Feelings, Confused
Thoughts, Mixed up
Memories, Still there
Touch, Remembered
Kisses, Dreamt of
His, Not yours
Sorry, I am
Forget, I must
Time, I need
Love, you say you love me
How could this be true?
I've only just met you

Discourse on Lovingkindness
Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as you stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth.
- The Buddha

What is love?"
This question often occurs to me.
Is it a feeling, an emotion, or just a tendency?
Love surely deals with the matters of the heart,
But the mind, too, plays an important part.
Love has no limit, nor has it any bound,
Those knowing love, know the soul's profound.
Love is not just an ordinary feeling,
Once you find it, it's vital for your being.
Love brings along joy, and also little pain,
It has a few losses but lots of gain.
Love has no causes, nor valid reasons,
Nor does it change like any of the seasons.
Love involves emotion, it needs understanding,
It is not the outcome of any preplanning.
The true meaning of love is not as simple as it's definition,
Neither are words enough to give its explanation.
To know what is love, it needs to be felt,
That's how I've known,
why love is simply, the best .................
This question often occurs to me.
Is it a feeling, an emotion, or just a tendency?
Love surely deals with the matters of the heart,
But the mind, too, plays an important part.
Love has no limit, nor has it any bound,
Those knowing love, know the soul's profound.
Love is not just an ordinary feeling,
Once you find it, it's vital for your being.
Love brings along joy, and also little pain,
It has a few losses but lots of gain.
Love has no causes, nor valid reasons,
Nor does it change like any of the seasons.
Love involves emotion, it needs understanding,
It is not the outcome of any preplanning.
The true meaning of love is not as simple as it's definition,
Neither are words enough to give its explanation.
To know what is love, it needs to be felt,
That's how I've known,
why love is simply, the best .................

Contagious Love
"Love cures people -- both the one who gives it
and the one who receives it."
- Karl Menninger, M.D.
Love begets love, hate begets hate, and beget begets beget.
Everything is contagious -- not just germs, but good vibes and bad vibes, too. Simply witness what happens when a person begins laughing hysterically, and watch how this action gets others to laugh or at least smile. Also witness what happens when someone is expressing hatred for another, and notice how those in the vicinity tighten their bodies, develop a defensive posture, and maybe clutch another's hand.
Loving and hating are not just emotional states -- both have direct physical effects on the body. Just as fear creates the fight-or-flight reaction, feelings of hate create an armoring of the body that tenses the musculature, raises blood pressure, shortens and speeds respiration, and creates a clear psychological distance between people.
Feelings of love, in contrast, reduce tension, decrease blood pressure, lengthen and slow breathing, and blur the distinction between one person and another. Not only does hate hurt others, it hurts the person feeling it, while love benefits both the giver and receiver.
Although most people do not know how to tell their body to heal itself, they do know how to love, and this can set the wheels of healing in motion. As Yale surgeon Bernie Siegel likes to remind people, "If I told patients to raise their blood levels of immune globulins or killer T-cells, no one would know how. But if I can teach them to love themselves and others fully, the same changes happen automatically. The truth is: Love heals."
Love can heal physical, emotional, and spiritual pain. Love of self and love from or for others can soothe physical pain, enrich emotional life, and help connect one person with another. Although love has powerful side effects, they are all positive side effects. And when love doesn't heal completely, at least it makes the pain a lot easier to handle.
Learning to love is, however, a lot more difficult than it seems, especially for people who haven't received much love themselves. It is also problematic for those who have received what was called love, but it tended to smother more than soothe them. Perhaps the best place to start is by learning to love yourself.
By being loving, a person makes him or herself more lovable. Through giving, a person receives. By being joyful, a person shares JOY with others. It seems so obvious, yet it is so elusive to too many people.
"As you sow, so shall you reap" is an old saying that reminds us that what is put into something is what is received from it. The hands that give away flowers retain the fragrance of the gift.
Bad vibes can be just as contagious as good ones. The worst thing that an S.O.B. can do is turn you into an S.O.B. Anger, fear, and hate are all contagious, too, although each of us can learn to be more resistant to these "infections".
By expressing compassion, anger is dissipated. By seeking to understand the unknown, fear disappears. By loving, hate evaporates.
The price one pays for hating others is loving oneself less. Even worse, the body feels this emotion and expresses it as pain and disease.
Perhaps one day soon, more doctors will prescribe love for their patients. It may not cure them all, but it is a good place to start.

I will love you
As long as there is time,
as long as there is love,
as long as there is you,
and as long as I have a breath
to speak your name...
I will love you,
because I love you more
than anything in all the world.

Love
"All's love, yet all's law."
-Robert Browning
Love and Law are two sides of the same coin. Everything is love, and at the same time, everything has that organizing power that we can totally count on. There is a reason why we love someone or something. There is a creative purpose to our love. We are not under some spell like the characters in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." We love who we love because God, the Universe, brought us together to learn and grow and experience more of our Selves. Love is divine, and yet love is totally practical.

In The Arc Of Your Mallet
Don't go anywhere without me.
Let nothing happen in the sky apart from me,
or on the ground, in this world or that world,
without my being in its happening.
Vision, see nothing I don't see.
Language, say nothing.
The way the night knows itself with the moon,
be that with me. Be the rose
nearest to the thorn that I am.
I want to feel myself in you when you taste food,
in the arc of your mallet when you work,
when you visit friends, when you go
up on the roof by yourself at night.
There's nothing worse than to walk out along the street
without you. I don't know where I'm going.
You're the road, and the knower of roads,
more than maps, more than love.
Rumi

Love is a fire and I am wood."
-Rumi
Love has been the subject for poets throughout the ages. In contemporary times, think of how many songs we hear that are all about love! According to the lyrics, "Love is all there is," and "Love can move mountains." Love brings us to the movies, where we can see love acted out larger than life and feel our emotions stir. We are drawn to love because that is what we all crave more of. And we crave love because that is what we are made of! Love brings us to our true nature. We are consumed by it because we want to know who we really are, and love allows us to experience that.

"Life is but a brief moment. The years go by quickly and old age arrives suddenly before we have an inkling. People desire so many things and waste their days in vain. Some yearn for gold, others for power, yet others for glory and a higher station. But when death's moment nears and they look back at their lives they've lived, they realise they've been happy only during those moments when they've loved."

BEAUTIFUL QUOTE
Love anything and your heart will…
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung, possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping your heart, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it up carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries, avoid all personal entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket of your selfishness. But in that casket—safe, dark, motionless, airless—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
— C.S. Lewis

Meeting at night
THE gray sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.
Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!
Robert Browning

Love Is Stronger Than Death
Love is stronger than death.
So I must be content to know that
love is not affected by death--
it doesn't end, it doesn't diminish,
it doesn't change.
Instead, love is immortalized
and eternalized through death.
And the possibility of that love ever
being damaged or broken
is eliminated forever.
I'll put my trust in love.
- Mary Hollingsworth
