LOVE IS

LOVE IS
		 Patricia Ann Reilly

		Caring about someone enough that their happiness
		Is first and most important above your needs
		Sharing feelings honestly even if it means you open
		Yourself to hurt and rejection

		Giving of yourself in order to help someone grow
		To help the loved one unburden their fears and
		Express their dreams, helping them grow
		Spiritually with God --

		Willing to accept that the other person may never
		Care how much you love and need them, but
		Caring and loving them anyway because you
		Want them to have the best, happiest life possible,
		Even if you can't be part of it yourself.

		Being unselfish, accepting faults of loved one
		Without trying to change them, but
		Willing to help them grow and change if they want to.

		Being able to let go and let the other person find
		Happiness without you if they truly
		Can not love you for who and what you are.


Reason for writing:

    lOVE OFTEN HURTS. WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVED NO LONGER WANTS YOU, IT 
IS TIME TO LET GO AND START TO HEAL.
