Zone1 True Love - The Hardest Goal to Achieve in Life

[SweetSue92]

True love is the hardest thing to achieve in life because you must first become the type or a person that can be loved, then you need to learn how to give true love, and then the toughest thing to do is to find someone that has done both as well.

I am the luckiest person I know because I have accomplished both. In addition, she is a very talented singer who is also beautiful.

I wrote this poem when I married her in 2001.

I Am In Love​

"I am in love" is a very simple statement
And one that’s said a million times a day
And yet I know my feelings are much deeper
Than those simple words can ever say

How can I have you feel the tremors
That shake my body when I think of you?
Or have you know the awesome power
You have to take away my "blue"?

I wake up every single morning
And thoughts of you pervade my mind
I go to sleep each and every evening
And feel your soul cuddling to mine

And in between those waking moments
My heart is filled with pure and utter joy
For just the knowledge of your love for me
Makes me feel like an innocent young boy

My days are filled with brim and fervor
As everything I see or touch I like
And everyone who I meet in person
Seems to draw upon my smiling sight

I love the way you make me feel
So full of purpose and of goals
And yet I know that when I’m with you
I tend to lose my learned controls

The physical desire I feel within me
Is unlike any I have ever known before
For I dream of being deep inside of you
In mind, body, heart and soul

My love for you is endless
In fact it grows much every day
I know that as time goes forward
It will expand in every way

This love I have for you inside of me
Is greater than the one I have for my own self
As I would gladly sacrifice my very existence
If it meant your happiness and health

So when they ask "Do you truly, really love her?"
I can surely answer "Yes, I really, truly do"
For I know true love requires giving
And I am giving all I have to you.

I am 30 years married to the love of my life. I am watching my dad mourn the love of his life, my mother, who we lost this summer. They were married 57 years.

He is shattered.

Truly the only thing keeping him together is his faith in Christ and us, his family.

Yes, loss of one's true love and one's mother is hard. It is like losing a part of yourself that cannot ever be replaced For the spouse, it can be like becoming paralyzed (being able to see but not do).

This is why we need to savor and appreciate every moment we have with the person we love.

My point is that Phileo is located lower than the heart when we say we are in love.

You're thinking of "eros"(a made-up word for lust/love).

[Leo123]

The definition of love is honoring a mutual commitment when passion and looks fade and life's ravages strike.

 

[Leo123]

Love of thyself comes first

Yep, if you don't love yourself, you can't love anyone else really.
