Love Is, <br />A lifetime of experiences and emotions shared between the couple affectionately holding hands as they walk past you in the street, <br />A fragile moment in time when two strangers happen to look across a crowded room, confused by the emotion when their eyes finally meet, <br />Love Is, <br />Aching from within and wishing you could unburden another person who is experiencing great loss or pain, <br />The realisation that your emotion is not reciprocated yet managing to forgive your love and silently remain, <br />Love Is, <br />Ignoring the unimportant and choosing your battles carefully ensuring only the most vital are confronted, <br />Knowing when to ask questions and when to remain silent in order not to make another feel affronted, <br />Love Is, <br />Being where you are most needed by those you love regardless of your personal situation or endeavours, <br />Wanting nothing more than the company of your loved ones, when things are tough and when it counts more than ever, <br />Love Is, <br />Knowing you are right but having the ability to set aside your feelings and allowing your loved ones to win, occasionally, <br />Compromising willingly and taking into account differences in, upbringing, beliefs, maturity and personality, <br />Love Is, <br />The realisation that your loved ones know and accept you are wrong because in the end it doesn’t matter anyway. <br />That, which you as an individual are prepared to tolerate or negotiate for the love of another on any given day. <br /> <br /> <br />You can never love someone too much <br />J.
