L.O.V.E.

A former professor of mine wrote this, i think its quite a touching short story that depicts TRUE LOVE in the simplest sense and i wanna share it because i totally agree with what he wrote. Love is in fact, in its truest form the most unselfish of all. This is quite touching.

Someone asked me once, "Isn't unrequited love hard? Doesn't it kill you to love someone so near, but still feel like you're miles away?"

It took me a while to answer, but I took in a big breath, and answered this...

"It is, but that's the beautiful thing about loving someone so beautiful. They don't need to do anything to make you happy... they just do...

"Its like when you look at flowers. Flowers just stand there and sway in the sun and the wind... but in our eyes, they can be the most beautiful things God ever made. The fact they're there in front of you... it's a darn miracle!

"But I can't expect that flower to do anything for me in return. It can't love me back. I can't force it to do anything beyond shining in front of my eyes. They just radiate that beauty, and all I can really do is smile when they're there."

"...Love is like that. It's beautiful, and it revels in the joy of that person's being. It's unselfish that way."
