Love is...

Love is...

being happy for the other person

when they are happy

being sad for the other person when they are sad

being together in good times

and being together in bad times

Love is the source of strength

Love is...

being honest with yourself at all times

being honest with the other person at all times

telling, listening, respecting the truth

and never pretending

Love is the source of reality

Love is...

an understanding that is so complete that

you feel as if you are a part of the other person

accepting the other person just the way they are

and not trying to change them to be something else

Love is the source of unity

Love is...

the freedom to pursue your own desires

while sharing your experiences with the other person

the growth of one individual alongside of

and together with the growth of another individual

Love is the source of success

Love is...

the excitement of planning things together

the excitement of doing things together

Love is the source of the future

Love is...

the fury of the storm

the calm of the rainbow

Love is the source of passion

Love is...

giving and taking in a daily situation

being patient with each other's needs and desires

Love is the source of sharing

Love is...

knowing that the other person

will always be with you regardless of what happens

missing the other person when they are away

but remaining near in heart at all times

Love is the source of security

Love is...the source of life.
