true love.. A myth?

I believe that even if the world today is losing the true meaning of love, True love still exists.. When I think about true love I think about a love which is pure, a love who is selfishless, a love who endures and go through the hard times.. This kind of love should be not only a feeling or an ideal, it can become reality but only when we meet the right person. We can't pretend to find it if we are not able to wait, to search and to fight for it.

I do believe in true love. It just so happened that the love just came at the wrong time. I say it is true love coz we both of us sacrificed a lot to make our relationship work. We just had to give it up for everyone's peace of mind.

The problem is people mistake "true love" for "true perfection". There is no such thing as perfection. Not with anyone. True love does not mean the love is perfect. Nothing is perfect in this world, love is no exception. True love to me means sticking through everything together even in the hard times. Counting on each other, and trusting each other no matter what. Knowing that with the person by your side your life is so much better than it has ever been. My husband and I have been through losing a child together and we have been homeless together. Even through that we still stuck it out and loved each other. Too me, that is true love.

It depends on the picture you paint about how true love should look like. You need to know yourself, need to know that nobody is perfect and you are not either. That true love doesn't mean your happiness only depends on what the love of your life does for you. You are responsible for your own life, needs, happiness. If you behave like a millstone around someone's neck, if you take it for granted someone is taking care of you and your needs full time you will surely send your true love away. In a relationship both have to invest and respect eachother as well.
