Love begets love; hatred begets hatred! <br />But time will come that love begets hatred. <br />I wonder why this was so… <br />And why should I gripe it? <br /> <br />Love is such a wonderful feeling as I thought, <br />A feeling that will lift the ocean waves… <br />That only an expert surfer will know how to passed it. <br /> <br />Sometimes the love you want may not be the love you need. <br />The one that gives you strength may be the one that will make you weak. <br />The one you love may be the one will broke your heart apart. <br />But, worry not for someday someone will mend it back. <br /> <br />For when you let go of love, you’ll know the essence of it. <br />That loving is not all joy but pain. <br />The joy that you feel will not be paid by any material wealth. <br />And pain will make you appreciate the real essence of love - <br />A wondrous emotion that makes your heartbeat is incomparable <br />Knowing that someone truly cares. <br />A love that is found may not be a love that is meant for you. <br />For the essence of love is loving someone without regret. <br /> <br />If pain is over, you’ll taste the bitter sweet emotions of loving. <br /> <br />A feeling that will make you realize that love gives color to life! <br /> <br />And in your memory it's like an overflowing river that is full of queries and mysteries.<br /><br />Anna Mae Angana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/essence-of-love-5/
