    True Love...

    heart
    I do not love you as if you were salt-rose or topaz,
    or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
    I love you as certain things are to be loved,
    in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

    I love you as the plant that never blooms,
    but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers.
    Thanks to your love a certain fragrance,
    risen darkly from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

    I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
    I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride,
    so I love you because I know no other way than this:
    where "I" does not exist, nor "you,"
    So close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
    So close that your eyes close and I fall asleep.

    -Pablo Neruda

    Let's talk about love

    You know how I hate talking about the same things all the time but it seems my previous post caused some confusion. I do not "hate" love,  I  love love (does that make any sense? :P). Well anyway, I just think that love does hurt sometimes and that quote I posted by Neil Gaiman is spot on... But even with all the pain it causes you can't help but fall in love, you can't stop it no matter how much you talk about it, no matter how much you say you want to avoid it, no matter how much it hurt last time...

    So about falling in love... check out this picture: http://www.everydayunclothed.com/cpg/albums/previousuploads/graphics/educ07070534046.jpg

    Love Quote

    One of my favorite love quotes by Neil Gaiman:

    “Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”

    Love Chart


    Wonder how compatible you are with that special someone? Check out what astrology has to say here: http://www.findyourfate.com/compatibility/lovechart.html

    Be careful to view the right male/female combinations.

    So I'm a female Libra and my recommended male partners are Gemini and Aquarius... hmm.. interesting...

    You can get detailed descriptions about horoscope compatibility here: http://www.astrology.com.au/compatibility/index.asp

    Well anyway I don't care what people say about astrology, I tend to believe in these things. I'm not saying I read my horoscope every day and believe in it but I do like the idea that the stars might influence our life somehow :)

    Love Poem

    I'm posting a poem here, I didn't write it but it's spot on...

     

     

    The first moment I looked upon you,
    From then, I knew, you were the only one for me.
    That first moment I will cherish in my dreams,
    How special and beautiful you were to me.

    That first moment, your head was bent in sorrow,
    Of a lost love, of the breaking of your heart.
    From that moment, the sky began to fade,
    The world began to tear apart.

    So, I gained courage to jump in, to help,
    Although it was an impossible task.
    But I created a new love for you,
    And for that I would reminisce the past.

    From the moment I opened your heart,
    I knew I would be happy now and forever.
    The happiness I so longed to feel,
    Now I believe in "Happily Ever After."

    What I am trying to say to you,
    I will now cut to the chase.
    I love you now, with all of my heart,
    There is no one that will ever take your place.
