Love does not hurt. Physical and/or emotional abuse are not a part of love.

Love is not manipulative, it should not be used to get others to do what you want. You should never give in to demands based on the, "You would do it if you loved me!" tactic.

Love is an intense feeling of caring for another person. It can take many different forms (romantic, friendly, familial) but it is always about caring.

Although it is true that a big part of love is putting another person's happiness ahead of your own this never includes compromising your values or being untrue to yourself.

If somebody asks you to do something that you don't want to do in order to "prove" your love they do not love you the way you might think they do. When you love another person you don't ask them to sacrifice a part of themselves in the name of that love.

It is very easy to confuse lust for love. The true measure of romantic love is commitment and trust not physical attraction.

It is possible to feel romantic love for more than one person at a given time. Just think, if it is possible for you to love both of your parents at the same time why would it be impossible to feel romantic love for two people at once? Don't beat yourself up emotionally if you find yourself in this unhappy situation. But be sure to remain single and be open and honest with all parties about your feelings and confusion.

Sex is NOT love. Love is NOT sex. Sex can be a part of romantic love but it is never mandatory.

Romantic love can (and often does) fade. When it goes there is not always a reason. When somebody falls out of love with you it does not reflect upon your value as a person or your desirability.

Love should make you feel happy, secure and appreciated.

And if I promise not to feel this pain,
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?

'Cause time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
But I know I'll make it through,
If you wait for me...
And all the tears I cry,
No matter how I try,
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?

Do you remember how it was?
When we never seemed to care,
The days went by so quickly,
'Cause I thought you'd always be there...
And it's hard to let you go,
Though I know that I must try,
I feel like I've been cheated,
'Cause we never said goodbye...

And if I promise not to feel this pain,
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?

'Cause time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
But I know I'll make it through,
If you wait for me...
And all the tears I cry,
No matter how I try,
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?

'Cause I miss you so, and I need to know...
Will you wait for me?

'Cause time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
But I know I'll make it through,
If you wait for me...
And all the tears I cry,
No matter how I try,
They'll never bring you home to me
Won't you wait for me in heaven?

And time will pass me by,
Maybe I'll never learn to smile,
But I know I'll make it through
If you wait for me...

      I don't know what's happening to me ever since you left me.. I feel restricted and tightly confined. I feel so broken and alone and it doesn't seem right and fare. The pain was so intense when you left. No one ever knew the hurt you caused when I saw you with her. You look at her the way you looked at me...You hold her the way you held me... you kiss her the way you kissed me... How could you do this to me? Was our relationship for real? Or you were just a great actor? It hurts to realize what's true. It hurts to wake up in the morning realizing that you're no longer mine. Now I feel that I'm way out of the world. I really need to break down and cry but my heart became so numb that I can't even let a tear out of my eyes. I thought I had forever with you..I thought you'd keep me in your arms forever. I know that time can never change the love I have for you..  You alone and no one else is buried deep inside my heart.. Parting really is a sweet sorrow. I guess it's time for me to move on for a new tomorrow.
