OK, here's my stab at love..........................and I quote:

If you've got to dress it up like that, it just doesn't ring true.

I think the most that anybody can honestly say is:

Look, I guarantee there will be tough times.

I guarantee that one or both of us is going to want to get out of this this thing. BUT I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

Because I know in my heart, you're the only one for me.

As one of my newest and sweetest male friend said in his Valentine's card to me that he sent with 12 gorgeous Red Roses and one white Gerbera Daisy, "A dozen red roses, because one is simply not enough to represent your beauty. One white daisy to represent how simply unique and special you are to me."

To be true to one's heart, you have to know what your truth is....and then trust it will lead you in the right direction.

Here's another little tidbit: Do you think that the wild fires you feel is love? That is falling in love! Love comes after the fires die down. Then you ask yourself; do I want to be without this person in my life? If the answer is a resounding no, even in the light of day when all is stripped away, then you have love.

How do you really know? You don't. You have faith and trust, then blindly open your heart to others, and remember that you need every experience you create! It can be uncomfortable and drives you to want to bail and just go numb, but if you keep moving through each heart monitor experience, you'll find you understand the intricacy of it so deeply that it would never betray you like it did in the past.

Happy Valentines Day one day early! Good luck to those who are superstitious today.

Later PC
