Forever and Always

Sir Pavio Writesalot said, ~Love is the binding that holds to your dreams. Love does not come over, rather you choose to love. Only when you choose to love one forever and you stand by that dedication of love will you truly love for life and live happily ever after.~ Let me ask you this question, does love last forever between two people? If you think about it, as each of us go through life and love, one oftentimes wonder if he or she will have that kind of love that one's own parents have. A love that is so deep and strong that it feels right to show how much you love that person in a personal sense; but also in a spiritual sense as you love from within your heart and soul.

Essentially, before ever attaining that forever love, one must have appreciation for that person who is kind and considerate enough to go out of his or her way to do something nice and in the process put a smile on your face. It's a rarity these days to find that guy or girl who appreciates all you try to do for that person and yet, he or she expects nothing in return which shows a selfless love that is an attractive quality for both men and women; but more so to a woman in my opinion. For every one of us can agree that its nice to know that someone is thinking about you and greatly appreciates who you are as a person, which makes you feel special and in turn makes that person special.

There will come a point where appreciating that person turns into liking that particular person. Genuinely liking him or her for who they are inside and not how they physically look on the outside. Most definitely, it what first attracts you to that person but if he or she is beautiful on the outside, but yet is ugly on the inside then that person is not worth liking and not worth your time. We all have specific qualities you like about a person that makes you want to hang around him or her and get more acquainted. It's that person who can make a deep impression on you; an impression that other guys or girls have failed to put on you. Someone once told me, never feel guilty or ever apologize for liking someone because they may actually like you back.

Ultimately, that like you have for a person turns or hopefully turns to love for that guy or girl. What I have come to learn is that every person is capable of loving someone with every fiber of their being; but to smother that person with love can cause a person to want some space. Yet, not too much space that one thinks that he or she has taken him or granted. How many of you can honestly say that you are, were, or have been truly in love with someone? To be truly in love, you sacrifice what you held most dear to in heart and refocus it to that one person who you gladly give it up for...but not entirely. Let me tell you something, when you know you have it, hold on to it, and never let go because if it slips through your fingers one may never get the chance to experience it ever again.

For 29 years, my parents have been happily married and have two sons they are both proud of. Within those 29 years they have had their share of rocky moments, which my brother and I have been a witness to; but through it all they still loved each other enough to work it. One reason their marriage is strong is that my dad takes my mom out on dates, which shows he still has what it takes to keep the bond of love forever tight though the good times and bad. I look at both of them and think to myself, that is how I want my marriage to my future wife to be as we go through our own triumphs, trials and tribulations. Forever and always, till the day I take my one last breath I will love her unconditionally and she for me.
