| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 9:59:13 AM | ^^^So would the logical thing to do, if what you wrote is true, is look for a "long term lust" instead of a long term relationship?
I don't think it's lust that wins over, but it might appear that way on the surface. People don't cheat over lust. Relationships rarely end because people lust over someone else besides an SO. Other problems begin during a relationship before lust interrupts love; what interrupts love is some inability or lack of knowledge to attack and solve problems in a relationship before lusting after someone else enters into the equation. I think you've over-simplified the question. | |

and
In the end it comes down to what we will do to clear the way for love to be able to thrive.
Agreed. I think you just hit on the bottom line.
I was talking with my fella about this thread a lil earlier today and we both agreed that there were many insightful pearls of wisdom in here, and we really appreciate all that you guys have shared, so again, thank you! Ofcourse, lil brat that he is, lol, he noted that he really liked a couple of the male posters replies the best, and stated "See? Us guys get deep, too!"
Oh, lol...
wurl...thank you, sir! I appreciate that.:) | |

My next romantic poem will begin with that line and then end with something about diarrhea. (Yes , I'm taking your statement out of context to make a joke. You'll live.)
This poem I wrote this morning. I figure it still goes along with the topic.
Love and Gasoline
You are my gasoline. You are my darling. You make my engine roar. You make me need some more. You fuel my plane. You fuel my flame.
If something breaks. If something shakes. If it makes a noise. If it makes to be poised. If all seems lost. If all seems to cost.
I know you will persevere. I know you will always be near. I need you to keep me warm. I need you to weather that storm. I will never forget. I will always be in debt.
Because you make my engine run. Because you are the morning sun. Because love always strives. Because love always defies.
Love is like gasoline to an engine. Love fuels my heart with an image. Love has no bounds and will come to call. Love conquers all. | |

| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 2:33:14 PM | I think that can find a way if both partners are willing to do what needs to be done ~ right now I am smack in the middle of love trying to find its way. It's hard work, but the payoff will make it worth it. Most things in life take work, commitment and often tears ~ why should love be any different ? | |
|
| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 2:39:06 PM | Yup, love can overcme anything, even reason and accountability.
OP, action is far more productive than wishfull thinking, no? If you're really in love you've already found your way. I humbly suggest that the "love" is what is really in doubt here. | |
|
| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 3:33:59 PM | I think Love is the most powerful emotion that a human being can have in this life. It is a powerful force that can conquer all if both parties put it above everything else and work on whatever stands in the way together and fully meet each others needs.
If one side is unwilling in any manner, then it will not conquer and sometimes a person needs to step away rather than remain in a situation of pain and hurt, no matter how strong the love is. Love sadly is not enough if both are not willing to put it first. | |
|
| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 5:42:13 PM | Love can be both an wonderful thing and a painful thing. It can bring tears of joy and just as quickly, bring tears of sorrow. There are some things beyond our control that will keep lovers apart no matter how much they want to be together. I wish I could answer yes, but my recent experience has proved me wrong. | |

| I think I have fallen inlove with someone with whom I hurt a lot..... Posted: 8/29/2006 6:04:25 PM | I know despite of what happen between us in the past & all the hurtful things that we have exchanged each other & as much as I tried to move on and date other ppl ---it keeps going back to the same guy ..... CATCHARMER....
I know I said a few hurtful things to him & we have hurt each other really bad.... but i realize that i think I have fallen inlove with him that bad that eventhough i tried to date other ppl there is no time that i never thought about him....
Since I knew him I cant stop composing poems..... I recently made two bec i missed him....
WHY DO I LOVE U
I LOVE THE WAY YOU LOOK THE WAY YOU SMILE
I LOVE THE WAY YOU MAKE ME SMILE
I LOVE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD HOW YOU CARE YOUR AFFECTION THAT'S THERE
I LOVE THE COMMON INTERESTS WE'VE IN COMMON THE FUN THINGS THAT YOU DO
THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I FEEL LIKE I'M NOT ALONE YOU'RE NOT JUST LIVING BENEATH ME YOU'RE BESIDE ME EVEN IF YOU WEREN'T THERE IT WAS LIKE YOU WERE AND IT WAS ALRIGHT
IM SORRY IF I CANT PUT IT INTO WORDS ITS NOT ABOUT WORDS ITS ABOUT FEELINGS
NOW I KNOW WHAT'S ON MY MIND ALL I COULD THINK OF IS THAT I LOVE U FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS... =================================== *J*A*R*O*D*
J*ust when i thought i was over you I cant seem to take u off my mind Wondering all the horrible things I said about u & feelings of hurt That I felt inside
A*ll this time As much as I try to forget you Its so hard for me to try You made me feel so young again And felt happy inside
R*emembering the times we shared I thought that u cared But then u sent me away Told me hurtful things Which made me mad
O*f all the things that I have said I regret saying things that hurt well You know that I was honest & true For what u have done I was so mad at u

| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 6:52:41 PM | Love will find a way...yet one can help it along.
If one spend all ones time in seclusion the changes for love to reach you are restricted.
One should go out, mingle, go to events to be seen and give a change for love to strike you.

| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 6:54:39 PM | Hello Funny Girl,
I think I understand the question. I too believe Love is all around much like rune3. she also sent me an anology I hope she shares here that is brilliant.
Should it depend on cirumstances? yes to a point but not the way many think or believe but hope that people will begin believing in this way.
If Love is all around, how come we don't see it feel it or experience it in our relationships, or if we do how come it doesn't last?
It has been said by many people who teach love that we must be that which we want. They say this because it is impossible to attract that which we don't continuousely express in our dayly lives. If Love is only an idea. then that is all it will ever be won't it. we only touch the surface of love with that idea...
Now lets look at something that most people find hard to do. If we acted with senserity of course loving actions on a dayly basis, this is what i am sertain would happen. Those who aren't loving will run like the pleage has broken out leaving room for those who are also loving to be in our lives. of course there are going to be some that aren't loving that will become attached as they crave such a wonderful thing, but on the whole our lives would change so much, as well as the quality of all our relationships.
Oh and be careful if you equate sex with love re evaluate your beliefs about love, as you don't want to be sharing that with all of the world now do you LOL...
If you are interested in more on this just ask I love writing about love and relationships. Like they say we teach best what we are trying to learn.
Hope this helps, Loveisgone geeze is there a way to change ones screen name? | |

| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 7:18:08 PM | Guys, this has turned into one very cool thread!
I've been thinking about this ever since I asked the question, and I keep coming back to what squirrly said...
But I have heard the words that love isn't enough and accepted them and now looking back I realise there was much more behind those words.
I think it's more likely that we didn't love enough, or it would have been.:)
Loveisgone geeze is there a way to change ones screen name?
oh, lol
Yes, there is. Click on "edit profile", click on your username and erase it, then type in a new one.
You added some very nice thoughts, thanks very much! | |

| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 7:38:16 PM | I'll make this as simple as possible.
Love cannot be defined.....what can be defined is misery and unhappiness(UNLOVE). First,be aware of what is causing you pain and suffering in your life,in other words,NEGATIVE FEELINGS.Don't waste a single one of them and don't deny having negative feelings or pretend they don't exist,just be AWARE of them,and THEN work on DROPPING THEM(NEGATIVE FEELINGS).
Drop negative feelings.... Drop misery and UNhappiness.... Drop Unlove........
And you will know LOVE.
You don't ADD anything in YOUR LIFE TO HAVE Love,because you have it already........You have to .....DROP!

Man, I so hate it when folks consider the star-crossed lovers the epitome of romantic love... hello! both of those love-fools ended up dead.
On topic... great posts, people! Do carry on... | |

| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 8:37:26 PM | Stronger than hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, and tsumamis
More sure than the tides and moon
The circumstances can not dictate love
We use circumstances to shield ourselve from love
Love will find away like water through a dam.........
It is not easy .....it may take years.... but it finds a way and begins to drip out the outer side | |
|
| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 8:37:56 PM | No.
To me love is a process and you have to make it happen...you have to make it work | |
|
| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 8:42:58 PM | | Will someone explain to me how love will conquer all? Seriously my parents were in love....that didn't stop their 32 year marriage from ending....well maybe my father having the affair and racking up $20,000 in debt might have had something little to do with it....but they were in love at one point....I know for a fact that my mom does not love my father anymore and I personally don't love my father anymore. Love is not unconditional....well unless it is between you and your dog. There are just some things that are not acceptable and cannot be overcome by love. Yes I guess I think love is unconditional in some instances....I would like to think that I loved my ex unconditionally but if push came to shove and unexpected things happened...I guess it wouldn't have been. | |

| Love will find a way? Posted: 8/29/2006 9:00:54 PM | Okay maybe that was too brief so I'll expand on it.
Pebbles 2006 you said that even though your heart was with another guy you still went out with other guys. YOU think it's unfair that the dude screwed you on the first date then moved on but your not thinking about the dudes who went out with you not knowing that you wanted that first scumbag who screwed you over. Is that fair to them? What if you went out on 3 dates with a really nice guy and he really liked you. but suddenly scumbag #1 decided that he made a mistake about moving on and realised that he wanted to be with you. I bet all my cash that you'd leave the new guy in a SECOND. Would that be fair to him? No? Exactly. And that's why I don't feel sorry for you. Its one big cycle. It all goes around. Its not fair and its not nice but its life. Move on get your sh!t straight work on your self esteem and THEN start dating other people. Your a MOTHER for gods sakes! You should be wiser than this.
Too harsh? Too blunt? Too bad. | |
