Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winterfar beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose
'The Rose' - Bette Midler
I heard this song being sung by a girl at a cafe. I love the lyrics - just speaks to me so much.
In Panama City Beach, I once saw an old couple just walking hand in hand along the shore in the light of the setting sun.
A British friend i met in UBC told me that her parents are still madly in love with each other even after all these years and that they take 'dirty holidays' together.
I love how the relationship between Anne and Gilbert develops in 'Anne of Green Gables.' It took a while for them to fall in love. Especialy on Anne's side. =) Gilbert had always fancied her even when they were kids in school, although he really pissed her off when he called her 'carrot tops'; he tried to make it up by giving her a sugarheart that said 'you're sweet' which Anne proceeded to crush soundly underfoot upon receiving it. But one day he saved her when she was stuck on a sinking raft floating down the river - that was the start of their friendship - which eventually blossomed into love.
At the risk of sounding like a cheeseball, is there such a thing as 'a true love'? I'd like to believe so.
Yes i do. There's no fixed time frame to meet the right person. I think we should take our time. And have lots of fun in the meantime!
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose
I wait for spring. and the sun's soft rays to awaken me.

it is a great poem.. -) reminded me of my open decleration of love for sarah mclachlan's music. *heh*
haha, you're right, we should all take our time to experience love to its full potential. on a social critique, so many people seem to pair off to ornamant each other rather than support each other..
so true love waits! just remember to give yourself the chance when it presents itself!
as sarah would say
"and if i shed a tear
i won't cage it
i won't fear love
and if i feel a rage
i won't deny it
i won't fear love"
Hey lazy.. that's quite interesting.. does liking a couple of pp. at the same time make one love less true than the other? I used to think so... but maybe it doesn't have to be that way? Life is really confusing....
Hey litford, that's an interesting line you wrote 'so many pp. pair off to ornament each other rather than to support each other' ... i liked how you used the word 'ornament' haha. christmas ornaments.
haha.. well, we say it as we see it. -)
