ok... let me re-intro myself... I am Tamma... I used to post here all the tyme... no need to welcome me. i just cant seem to remember my dang password...

here we go...

What is love? Its giving someone the power to hurt you tremendously. It is letting them know your most private thoughts and fears, without fear. It's giving yourself over to them, letting them see you at your most vulnerable moments. Love is the power to forgive them when they hurt you, and still let them be in your heart. It is giving them the window to your soul. Love is forgiveness, to slip each hurtful word or action slip from your mine. It is letting yourself fall, all over, even though you've been hurt in the past. Love is the way of knowing, simply knowing, without reason, that they are hurting. Love is not caring if you, yourself, are Ok, but wondering if they are. It is giving over to the fear, but confidence, that they, too, wont hurt you. Love is doing what they need you to do, dispite what you want to do. It is the fear of letting yourself fall, but knowing, and trusting, they will be the one to catch you, before you get hurt.

That is very true!  It is also loving someone in spite of their faults.

We may love a person who is bad for us but "the heart has reasons the mind knows not of." Aren't you glad of that. We are not robots. We are people and we are sometimes foolish. It makes me happy.
