The Mysterious Thing called Love

by Opini

If you find yourself in love with someone who
doesn’t love you, be gentle with yourself. There’s nothing wrong with you, love just didn’t choose to rest in the other person’s heart.

If you find someone else in love with you
and you don’t love him/her, feel honored that love came and called at your
door, but gently refused the gift that you can’t return.

Don’t take advantage, don’t cause pain.
How you deal with love is how you deal with you and
all your hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different.

If you fall in love with another and
she/he fall in love you and then love chooses to leave, don’t try to reclaim it
or assess blame, let it go. There’s reason and there’s a meaning you’ll know into time.

Remember that you don’t choose love but love chooses
you. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into
your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach it and give away.

Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you
Give it back to other who deems it poor spirit
Give it to the worlds around you in anyway you can

There’s where many lovers go wrong,
having been so long without love, they understand love only as a need. They see their heart as an empty place that will be filled by heart and they begin to look at love as something that flow it them rather than from them.

The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing
but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as need. They cease
to be someone who generate love and instead become someone seeks love.

They forget that secret of love is a gift and that can be made to grow only by giving it away.

Remember this and keep it to your heart
love has its own time, its own reason and its own reason for coming and going.

You can’t bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into saying.
You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you. But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your lover, there’s nothing you can do and there’s nothing you should do.

Love always has been and always will be a mystery.
Be glad that came to live for a moment in your love.
