Everyone must have experienced once or few times to be deeply in love and what love has brought to their life. The joy and happiness is unfathomable! I believe if you have it, you really don't need anything else. If you don't no matter what else you have, it will never be enough to make you happy.
Even when you have love you worry about losing it, and so you read articles to find out how to keep or start discussing with friends what and what not to do in order to keep the love ever flowing in your life. They say that if you hold on to love too tightly, it will slip through your fingers, like quick-silver. Or if you do not hold on to it tightly enough you may lose it.
If you love the wrong things or love for the wrong reasons, you will soon discover that the object of your love was not what you wanted after all. And yet it is right to want love and to look for it, because love is our birthright!
But true love is not something that disappears easily. True love is eternal and unconditional. It is strong and unbreakable, and makes your life a joyful one.
When love is real, it becomes a mirror that we hold for each other and in that mirror only the best and most beautiful things are seen. Only time is capable of understanding how great love is. Lets see what love means to you?

And again, you bring out a discussion worthy of the beautiful lady that lies with-in. True Love... something that many go through their entire life and never find. How sad, really. Though there ARE a lot of sayings that go with true love, when one finds this magical blessing, there is little you need to do except to give love and be sure that every single day the one you love Knows that you love them. It sometimes opens our eyes to new and beautiful things, much like Spring, in all of it's wonder. It also becomes a blinding factor that closes our eyes to anything less than beautiful.
As time goes by and age begins to show on our faces and actions, true love blinds us to the changes in that we still see only beauty. One that has known True Love in his life, I can speak from experience what true love can sometimes mean. My Love was sick so much of our time together. Medications and disease took it's tool on her body. Yet, when I looked at her, enduring and still beautiful, all I saw through my eyes was pure love... her for me and I for her. She needed help to be lifted from her bed to her wheelchair or to the shower, where ever she needed to be. Hospital staff called what we did "our dance" and it was. Each time she had to be moved, I would do it and the Hospital staff grew to know that I could move her gentler, more safely than they could. 20 years of "dancing" had given me the chance to "dance" with my darling many times a day. A gift few can say they were blessed with.
True Love... Something that causes you to fall in love every single day with the one you are with. To feel more blessing than anyone man deserved.To take what could have made one bitter and make it a way to be close and to love deeply. Sleeping beside her for 60 days while she slept in a coma and feeling her love still with me was true love. When she was in remission, doing all we could and living life to it's fullest, letting no person and no illness to slow us down. Ours was a love that was never ending and has lasted four years after God took her to heaven. Still I cry as I write about her and still I miss her more than my words can convey here.
Love that lasts longer than your time together and reaches further than the solar system. Love that endured through the good and the hard, for it was never ever bad. Love that still finds me falling in love with her every day and wishing with all of my heart and soul that she were still here with me, physically. Twenty four years of never ever raising our voices in anger at one another and never going to bed angry with each other.Twenty four years of hospitals being more our room than the one we shared at home. Twenty-four years of laughter and love and fear and prayers gave to us a beauty and peace that is unmatched by anything in this world we live in.
True Love??? It does exist and it is more precious than Gold or anything this world has to offer. And yes, with true love comes a feeling of emptiness and lost when the one you love so deeply goes to heaven. Love that Stays strong while she waits for me to join her.

@greenwbird, we only pass through this world but once and therefore we should only have one true love in our life. We might love many other but they are only superficial love or imitation love. The only kind of love that can fill us up and make us whole emotionally is true love.

True love its not only bring happiness to me but above all completeness to my human flesh. He is the main object that bring life to my own dull moments and life. It has lots of meaning from different people. It actually differs from one another. But for me in my own words if you would like to describe what is true love to me. Aside the one that I describe above. It's an unconditional love for the other person. Where you could and willing to give up your own life for you to save him/her. Living in fantasy world that is why I say that. But for me that is what true love means. Sacrificing your own life or your own happiness.

Well I can say that love has different levels. True love is the one on the highest level. Only special people can receive that and only few can give it. True love is not easy to find. It cannot be bought nor sold. For you to be able to give true love, you should have a kind heart. Then you should be a sincere person. Once you have it, you should be faithful. Then for you to possess true love, you should find the right person. And that person should also have a kind heart, must be a sincere person, and a faithful one. Once both of you possesses that, it's not yet enough, you should next feel the electricity on your bodies. Once you feel that, you should start building the combination of both true love. It takes time. There should be a magic happened. Once you feel the magic, you would start to feel the magnet,then a part of your souls will transfer to each other. Once it happened, both of you will always be present on each other's mind. You are going to be addicted to each other. You will be longing for each other at all times. You will always miss each other. You accepted each other completely. You will be inspired. All the things that you are going to do are for each other. You would feel the completeness of your body if you were together. Because you feel now that you are already one. At this point of time, you are already on the special level of love where only few can experience. Then for it to last, there's ingredients that should be present and maintain, these are love, trust, respect, loyalty and honesty. It will not be easy to have all of these in the beginning, it takes time. Once these aspects were already been planted to each other's mind and heart, then I can say you are already experiencing "true love". That's the shortcut procedure of how to get true love. Hahaha! Have a nice day! Happy myLotting!

Well the answer is yes and sometimes no...
True love is the best kind of love anyone could ever want or long for but sometimes loving a person faithfully with all your heart and with all your being has its constraints.
What if your most "beloved" doesn't love you back?
No one can argue, if it's true love, you'll definitely suffer. True love is loving someone without the need of him/her loving you back.
True love is when you told someone you love him/her without expecting anything in return.

For me true love only exists with alot of compromise, tolerence and sacrifice ... without any of this true love is only a dream ...
when both have this positive atributes ... true love ... and those wonderful moments spend with each other are so beautiful ...

hi zandi,
I can relate to your post because that is what I do also to keep my relationship with my boyfriend stronger than before. We are now having our relationship for more than 2 years and it is quite complicated because we are in this long distance relationship. But I know that true love can wait. I am strongly hoping and I have this firm belief that someday we can be together and have a future together. He is a mature man and very kind. Sometimes, we have heated arguments but after that we will be back again to each other, saying sorry to each other. I know that being humble will mean a lot in a relationship and that is what we always try to do. We forget about our pride for we know our relationship will not last if there is always pride in us. We love each other, respect and trust each other. I can say that trust is one important ingredient in every relationship and that is also what keeps us going.

Hi zands,
Though you have presented the issue of true love quite convincingly to be frank I am skeptical about the whole affair. This is true that we all have the longing for love at one stage of life and that hardly proves to be true for it involves sexuality,I mean if this concept of love is restricted between man and woman.
I also go eye to eye with you that love ignites happiness be whatsoever form it is. But keeping the rope tight or ever lasting without any ill feeling for each other is too difficult. The serenity of love turns into malice the moment your view gets a jolt.
Besides I have often doubted the connotation of true love. Love for me is love there should not be true or false.
But when the same semantic of love is associated parents and children we sense the spirit of true love. My falling in love with a girl/woman could be true at one moment and untrue the next moment. So where would we go hunting true love?

Hi zandi,
Love is something that we can not describe in words because it is a feeling. You need to feel it to know what is love all about. You can see the love from people who are in love with someone or something. Love can be as sweet as honey when you are in love but it can be so cruel if love is no longer with you.
Love to things and it can be gone.
Love to others and it could be fade away.
Love to you Creator and it would be permanent.

Who can ever detect when love take control of our life? It comes unannounced stirring out hears endlessly and leave unceremoniously leaving us partially insane. That is the mystery of love. Real love is spiritual love for all human beings. It is unconditional and selfless. God's love is unconditional.

As far as I am concerned, I think I can not agree with you more. I think the true love really brings the happy life. For me, I think I have experienced one. I still remember that love ,it was about three years ago, I met a good gilr, and we fall in love with each other soon.With the time goes by, I felt my life was so happy day by day.Till now, I still can recall that period.

Being together doesn't mean we are in love and not being together doesn't mean we are not in love to one another. I love someone and she is married. But she said to me, nothing could destroy what we have built! Even though she is married to someone else, I am happy for her. As long as we still keep in touch, it would make my life better. If she tried to hide, I think I will die.

When I was in high school, I fell in love with a boy at the first sight, to be more precisely, at the first hearing. I was magically attracted by his voice, maybe it is not charming to anyone else, but to me, I firmly believe that he is the one I want to be together, cause I never had the same feelings for any guys before. He is the first person I love deeply. Every time when I saw him, my heartbeat accelerates. I love spending time with him and I really enjoy it.

This typically happens to a younger set especially during college years, when peer pressure is at its peak. The hard thing to let go about this feelings is that the trophy guy that attracts your attention is looked upon as desirable from your eyes which sends your heart racing faster at the sight or thought of him. However, as a person grows older and knows their own mind this wouldn't be all that relevant.

Hi Zandi, i agreed with what you had stated here that, only those who had found true love can have the happiness of life. Sometimes, it's hard to know whether we had found our true love, only through a matter of time then we will came to know it. As for me, i am quite satisfied with my partner although there are times that we don't really agreed with each other opinion and need to discuss a lot. But, the positive outweigh the negative side, so i will still said it's still worth it. It's seen that true love do bond and hold us together tightly, no matter what happen. And that's what i appreciated the most in my life.
