Love Does Not
Want To Hurt You

Try to catch yourself the next time when you feel the very first thoughts of love.
This is the proper time to ask yourself if it's really worth the risk.
For when two hearts are involved the possibility of failure always exists.
The desire to love may rest in the heart of two but issue's of devotion and duration need to be of concern to you.
Some will say they love you today and this is a well known method they employ to get there way.
Love will not be rushed to satisfy all the desires of today for love requires tomorrow to truly find its way.  
Love never has the goal to be a purveyor of heatache and sorrow.
In truth love has the ability to be much more than a brief romantic encounter.
And it only desires to be a beautiful reality that we can depend on to brighten up today and tomorrow.
Yes you can believe me for I share nothing but the truth within these lines.
Love does not want to hurt you in anyway or at anytime.

Love is here for the taking...
it is the manipulation by one's hands
that distorts the shape...

BRAVO!!! This is wonderful, sweet friend, yes, love does not want to hurt anyone, for it is not if we ever get a broken heart that love hurt us but just that He had another plan and it just wasn't the right time! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

James...you've just mirrored my own thoughts about the subject of love.  It does take time, and the real thing is something to be nurtured, something that will give back as much and more than what we, as humans, put into it. Well done, my friend!

Open the door and let your adventure begin!!!

What's amazing about it is that's it's simply up to us.  If it is, a will will find a way...lol.


...and so it begins

Thank you Lady in White, Noah , Mark, Madame Chipmunk, cherrypoptart, Sunnyone, Duncan, Auguste, the lone 23, Seymour and Paladin for the nice responses.
Paladin interesting that you would say that we hurt the one's we love...and on this thought perhaps we all need to search our hearts and figure out why we hurt someone we love...I don't think we intentionally strive to hurt someone we care for or love.  Yes pain and sorrow will always visit us for life always changes and has a beginning and an end but this is not the goal or purpose of love...and don't we have enough pain in our lives without our loved one's adding to the misery...James

Thank you vandana, Roniece, Sandra, Enchantress, Gentle Spirit and passing shadows for the nice responses...
I think sometimes we set ourselves up for pain by rushing into bad situations and making the wrong choices and then it is easier for us to blame it on the failure of love then our unwise choices...and sometimes it seems next to impossible to not give love a chance...for who doesn't want to be loved and to find someone to love...James
