Alright if you're a macho macho guy and are afraid of emo posts, steer clear from this entry!

It's been a while since I've done this, and sure it's gonna be sappy, but that's who I am, deep inside, deep deep inside, somewhere in there.. :P

I think that it's important that everyone revisits their thoughts on what love is every once in a while. You realise how your views on what it is changes based on what you've been through and probably your views on what love was when you were a child are totally different from what they are today are totally different.

If anything, it will help you consider how important it is in your life, or whether it should be? Or whether you've arrived at a place where you never thought you'd be, and maybe you should start trying to relive your dreams. Maybe you could write it down and give it your special someone and thank them for being the 'love' of your life.

Anyways, for me, love is:

1) something I have lost many times and been hurt by even more times, it's also something I haven't found yet, but know that one day all my efforts to find the right one will be worth it. I'm not looking for Ms Right Now, wrong recipient, it's Ms Right I'm looking for.
2) being just totally amazed by that person.
3) growing old together with the one that God match made me for.
4) thinking that she is the most beautiful woman in the world, even if she isn't; but to me, she is.
5) me trying my best for her everyday, and her doing the same for me.
6) commitment to stick it out till the end, trust and faith in one another, and always with hope for a better future, together.
7) specific performance of all the terms of the partership, intervivos, made while intoxicated by mutual feelings of affection (lawyer's joke). It's also something that law could never define (thank goodness for that).
8) giving, exploring, sharing sex with just that one person because she's special
9) always having someone to talk with but being just as content in our moments of silence
10) not convenience, not selfish need, not insecurity, not out of ambition, but just because she's the way she is
11) someone who knows my darkest secrets and how childish i can be but will put up with me just because she loves me
12) exploring the world and this adventure we call life in all its entirety with someone just as passionate about it as I am
13) having a happy family, me, you, and oh those incredibly-frustrating-"give me high blood pressure"-insane-"drive me crazy"-"i'm sorry we didn't use contraception"-but-"impossible not to love them" children of ours. Oh, and maybe a dog.
14) coming back home from work everyday, and knowing that I'm appreciated for me, not how much I bring home. and coming back home to the one i love.

Someone who knows the sad reality of this world, but still chooses to face it the best way she knows how; with grace, with strength, humour, intelligence, kindness, charm, and with happiness.

If you ever read this, or if I ever share this with you, thanks for making the future me so happy. I'm so glad the future me has found you, you have no idea how long he's waited for you, you are the result of answered prayer in his life his whole life, what took you so long? :)
